2. 1. Towards Designing Better Speech Agent Interaction : Using Eye Gaze for Interaction

   Author : Razan Jaber; Barry Brown; Donald McMillan; Kerstin Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Human-computer interaction; Conversational User Interfaces; Smart Speaker; Gaze Interaction; User Studies; Interaction Design; Gaze Detection; Agent Interaction; Wizard-of-Oz; data- och systemvetenskap; Computer and Systems Sciences;

   Abstract : This research is about addressing the need to better understand interaction with conversational user interfaces (CUIs) and how human-technology `conversations' can be improved by drawing on the lessons learned from human-human interaction. It focuses on incorporating abstractions of complex human behaviour, specifically gaze, to enhance interactions with speech agents in conversations. READ MORE

4. 2. Modelling Paralinguistic Conversational Interaction : Towards social awareness in spoken human-machine dialogue

   Author : Daniel Neiberg; Joakim Gustafson; Nigel Ward; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Parallel with the orthographic streams of words in conversation are multiple layered epiphenomena, short in duration and with a communicativepurpose. These paralinguistic events regulate the interaction flow via gaze,gestures and intonation. READ MORE

5. 3. Mutual Understanding in Situated Interactions with Conversational User Interfaces : Theory, Studies, and Computation

   Author : Dimosthenis Kontogiorgos; Joakim Gustafsson; Gabriel Skantze; Catherine Pelachaud; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human-computer interaction; social robots; smart-speakers; multimodal behaviours; social signal processing; common ground; dialogue and discourse; joint-construction tasks; embodiment; conversational failures; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : This dissertation presents advances in HCI through a series of studies focusing on task-oriented interactions between humans and between humans and machines. The notion of mutual understanding is central, also known as grounding in psycholinguistics, in particular how people establish understanding in conversations and what interactional phenomena are present in that process.

6. 4. Interpreting as interaction : On dialogue-interpreting in immigration hearings and medical encounters

   Author : Cecilia Wadensjö; Linköpings universitet; []

   Abstract : This thesis is based on twenty recorded encounters involving, on the one hand Russian speaking laymen, on the other Swedish-speaking representatives of public institutions -- police-officers, nurses and doctors -- and, "in the middle" Dialogue Interpreters.The normative role (Goffman) of a professional Dialogue Interpreter, i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Developing and evaluating co-speech gesture-synthesis models for embodied conversational agents

   Author : Taras Kucherenko; Hedvig Kjellström; Gustav Eje Henter; Iolanda Leite; Jonas Beskow; Stefan Kopp; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-agent interaction; gesture generation; social robotics; conversational agents; non-verbal behavior; deep learning; machine learning; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract :  A  large part of our communication is non-verbal:   humans use non-verbal behaviors to express various aspects of our state or intent.  Embodied artificial agents, such as virtual avatars or robots, should also use non-verbal behavior for efficient and pleasant interaction. READ MORE
