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. Eye-gaze assistive technology for play, communication and learning : Impacts on children and youths with severe motor and communication difficulties and their partners

   Abstract : Children and youths with severe motor and communication difficulties experience participation restrictions in varied everyday contexts. Adequate environmental support such as the provision of assistive technology could offer opportunities to enhance their play, learning and interactions with others. READ MORE

5. 3. Expressiveness in virtual talking faces

   Author : Gunilla Svanfeldt; Björn Granström; Francisco Lacerda; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Language technology; Språkteknologi;

   Abstract : In this thesis, different aspects concerning how to make synthetic talking faces more expressive have been studied. How can we collect data for the studies, how is the lip articulation affected by expressive speech, can the recorded data be used interchangeably in different face models, can we use eye movements in the agent for communicative purposes? The work of this thesis includes studies of these questions and also an experiment using a talking head as a complement to a targeted audio device, in order to increase the intelligibility of the speech.
