UNLABELLED Overlap between sensory and motor representations has been documented for a range of human actions, from grasping (Rizzolatti et al., 1996b) to playing a musical instrument (Novembre and Keller, 2014). Such overlap suggests that individuals use motor simulation to predict the outcome of observed actions (Wolpert, 1997). Here we investigate motor simulation as a basis of human communi...

Most spoken dialogue systems are still lacking in their ability to accurately model the complex process that is human turntaking. This research analyzes a humanhuman tutoring corpus in order to identify prosodic turn-taking cues, with the hopes that they can be used by intelligent tutoring systems to predict student turn boundaries. Results show that while there was variation between subjects, ...

Spontaneous turn taking phenomenon can be observed in many self-organized systems, and the mechanism is unclear. This paper tries to model it by evolutionary dilemma games with memory mechanism. Prisoner's dilemma, Snowdrift (including Leader and Hero) and Stag-hunt games are unified on an extended S-T plane. Agents play game with all the others and make decision by the last game histories. The...

This paper describes research exploring the use of haptics to support users collaborating remotely in a single-user shared application. Mediation of turn-taking during remote collaboration provides a context to explore haptic affordances for background communication as well as control negotiation in remote collaboration: existing turn-taking protocols are rudimentary, lacking many communication...

We report on an empirical study of a multiparty turn-taking model for physically situated spoken dialog systems. We present subjective and objective performance measures that show how the model, supported with a basic set of sensory competencies and turn-taking policies, can enable interactions with multiple participants in a collaborative task setting. The analysis brings to the fore several p...

Copy Summary: It has been found that humans not only tend to avoid the middle routes and prefer the peripheral routes among multiple choices, but also rely on the ‘initial segment strategy’ to select the route. In this paper, we propose a new heuristic which humans apply during route selection: Participants prefer the route whose initial direction lies in the direction of their final destinatio...

The objective of this traffic safety investigation was to find critical road sections using Postand Preaccident analysis approaches. The Post-accident approach analyzes the effect of road geometric characteristics on accident rate. The study was based on accident and road maintenance data in Western Sweden. A total of 2912 accidents from 2000 to 2005 on 1615 km median-separated roads was collec...

Navigation aids provide users with a route as a sequence of turn by turn instructions, each of which guides the user from one decision point to the next. Along the extensive research on enriching navigation aids with the elements of spatial cognition, this research provokes the idea of including cognitive subdivisions of space in outdoor navigation. As the first step, we present the results of ...

In Chapter 1 I introduced the principles of CA methodology in relation to ordinary conversation, whereas chapter 2 introduced an institutional discourse perspective. In this chapter I apply these principles and this perspective to the institutional setting of the L2 classroom and to the organisation of turn-taking and sequence in particular. The overall argument of this chapter is that there is...

This paper introduces the Finite-State TurnTaking Machine (FSTTM), a new model to control the turn-taking behavior of conversational agents. Based on a non-deterministic finite-state machine, the FSTTM uses a cost matrix and decision theoretic principles to select a turn-taking action at any time. We show how the model can be applied to the problem of end-of-turn detection. Evaluation results o...
