We describe work done at three sites on designing conversational agents capable of incremental processing. We focus on the `middleware' layer in these systems, which takes ca...

When dialogue systems, through the use of incremental processing, are not bounded anymore by strict, nonoverlapping turn-taking, a whole range of additional interactional devices ...
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 si...
Spoken dialogue is notoriously hard to process with standard language processing technologies. Dialogue systems must indeed meet two major challenges. First, natural spoken dialogu...
