Using dialogue acts to learn better repair strategies for spoken dialogue systems
Repair or error-recovery strategies are an important design issue in Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) - how to conduct the dialogue when there is no progress (e.g. due to repeated A...

Automatic classification of question turns in spontaneous speech using lexical and prosodic evidence
The ability to identify speech acts reliably is desirable in any spoken language system that interacts with humans. Minimally, such a system should be capable of distinguishing be...

An instantaneous vector representation of delta pitch for speaker-change prediction in conversational dialogue systems
As spoken dialogue systems become deployed in increasingly complex domains, they face rising demands on the naturalness of interaction. We focus on system responsiveness, aiming t...

Name-aware speech recognition for interactive question answering
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before ...

Discriminative feature weighting using MCE training for topic identification of spoken audio recordings
In this paper we investigate a discriminative approach to feature weighting for topic identification using minimum classification error (MCE) training. Our approach learns featu...

Improving Spoken Language Understanding with information retrieval and active learning methods
In the context of deployed spoken dialogue telecom services, we introduce a preprocessor called Fiction into the Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) component. It acts as an inter...
