2. 1. Turn-taking and early phonology : Contingency in parent-child interaction and assessment of early speech production

   Author : Ulrika Marklund; Francisco Lacerda; Iris-Corinna Schwarz; Barbro Bruce; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; parent-child interaction; turn-taking; parental responsiveness; phonological development; phonological complexity; assessment of speech production; Phonetics; fonetik;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on contingency in parent-child interaction, investigating it in the light of the linguistic capacity of the child and the status of the caregiver. Further, the thesis covers the development of two tools to assess the developmental maturity level of expressive phonology. READ MORE

4. 2. Predictive Modeling of Turn-Taking in Spoken Dialogue : Computational Approaches for the Analysis of Turn-Taking in Humans and Spoken Dialogue Systems

   Author : Erik Ekstedt; Gabriel Skantze; Roger Moore; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; turn-taking; spoken dialog system; human computer interaction; Turtagning; talad dialog; människa-data interaktion; Datalogi; Computer Science; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

   Abstract : Turn-taking in spoken dialogue represents a complex cooperative process wherein participants use verbal and non-verbal cues to coordinate who speaks and who listens, to anticipate speaker transitions, and to produce backchannels (e.g., “mhm”, “uh-huh”) at the right places. READ MORE

5. 3. Data-driven Methods for Spoken Dialogue Systems : Applications in Language Understanding, Turn-taking, Error Detection, and Knowledge Acquisition

   Author : Raveesh Meena; Gabriel Skantze; Joakim Gustafson; Helen Hastie; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Language Understanding; Turn-taking; Error Detection; Knowledge Acquisition; Crowdsourcing; semantisk tolkning talspråk; turtagning i dialogsystem; fel och missförstånd; crowdsourcing; dialogsystem; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Abstract : Spoken dialogue systems are application interfaces that enable humans to interact with computers using spoken natural language. A major challenge for these systems is dealing with the ubiquity of variability—in user behavior, in the performance of the various speech and language processing sub-components, and in the dynamics of the task domain.

6. 4. Production and Perception of Pauses in Speech

   Author : Kristina Lundholm Fors; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; pauses; dialogue; entrainment; turn taking;

   Abstract : Silences can make or break the conversation: if two persons involved in a conversation have different ideas about the typical length of pauses, they will face problems with turn taking. Pauses occur in conversation for a number of reasons, for example for breathing, thinking, word-searching and turn taking management. READ MORE

7. 5. Human interaction as a model for spoken dialogue system behaviour

   Author : Anna Hjalmarsson; Rolf Carlson; David Schlangen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Acoustics; Akustik; Human communication; Kommunikation mellan människor;

   Abstract : This thesis is a step towards the long-term and high-reaching objec-tive of building dialogue systems whose behaviour is similar to a human dialogue partner. The aim is not to build a machine with the same conversational skills as a human being, but rather to build a machine that is human enough to encourage users to interact with it accordingly. READ MORE
