Entrainment in Spoken Dialogue Systems: Adopting, Predicting and Influencing User Behavior
نویسنده
چکیده
Entrainment is the phenomenon of the speech of conversational partners becoming more similar to each other. This thesis proposal presents a comprehensive look at entrainment in human conversations and how entrainment may be incorporated into the design of spoken dialogue systems in order to improve system performance and user satisfaction. We compare different kinds of entrainment in both classic and novel dimensions, provide experimental results on the utility of entrainment, and show that entrainment can be used to improve a system’s ASR performance and turntaking decisions.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of an adaptive version of TOOT, a spoken dialogue system for retrieving online train schedules. Adaptive TOOT predicts whether a user is having speech recognition problems as a particular dialogue progresses, and automaticall...
متن کاملConstruction and Experiment of a Spoken Consulting Dialogue System
This paper addresses a spoken dialogue framework that helps users make decisions. Various decision criteria are involved when we select an alternative from a given set of alternatives. When adopting a spoken dialogue interface, users have little idea of the kinds of criteria that the system can handle. We thus consider a recommendation function that proactively presents information that the use...
متن کاملParameters for Quantifying the Interaction with Spoken Dialogue Telephone Services
When humans interact with spoken dialogue systems, parameters can be logged which quantify the flow of the interaction, the behavior of the user and the system, and the performance of individual system modules during the interaction. Although such parameters are not directly linked to the quality perceived by the user, they provide useful information for system development, optimization, and ma...
متن کاملCharacterizing and Predicting Corrections in Spoken Dialogue Systems
This article focuses on the analysis and prediction of corrections, defined as turns where a user tries to correct a prior error made by a spoken dialogue system. We describe our labeling procedure of various corrections types and statistical analyses of their features in a corpus collected from a train information spoken dialogue system. We then present results of machinelearning experiments d...
متن کاملSpeaking More Like You: Lexical, Acoustic/Prosodic, and Discourse Entrainment in Spoken Dialogue Systems
When people engage in conversation, they adapt the way they speak to the speaking style of their conversational partner in a variety of ways. For example, they may adopt a certain way of describing something based upon the way their conversational partner describes it, or adapt their pitch range or speaking rate to a conversational partner’s. They may even align their turn-taking style or use o...
