This paper describes a fully incremental dialogue system that can engage in dialogues in a
simple domain, number dictation. Because it uses incremental speech recognition and …

We present a first step towards a model of speech generation for incremental dialogue
systems. The model allows a dialogue system to incrementally interpret spoken input, while …

This invention relates to a speech transformation apparatus and method for transforming
speech detected by a micro phone, etc., to a form that can be readily understood by a …

In human dialogue, listener feedback is a pervasive phenomenon that serves important
functions in the coordination of the conversation, both in regulating its flow, as well as in …

This paper presents a model of incremental speech generation in practical conversational
systems. The model allows a conversational system to incrementally interpret spoken input …

This USER Workshop was convened with the goal of defining future research directions for
the burgeoning intelligent agent research community and to communicate them to the …

This paper presents a model for the behavior and dialogue planning module of
conversational service robots. Most of the previously built conversational robots cannot …

In this paper, we present a user study where a robot instructs a human on how to draw a
route on a map, similar to a Map Task. This setup has allowed us to study user reactions to …

Even as progress in speech technologies and task and dialog modeling has allowed the
development of advanced spoken dialog systems, the low-level interaction behavior of those …

Successful dialogue is based on collaborative efforts of the interactants to ensure mutual
understanding. This paper presents work towards making conversational agents 'attentive …
