In order to increase the role of machines in supporting more capabilities as regards a spoken dialogue system, we present in this paper a new problem incorporating multi-session in...
We use machine learners trained on a combination of acoustic confidence and pragmatic plausibility features computed from dialogue context to predict the accuracy of incoming n-be...
Human tutors detect and respond to student emotional states, but current machine tutors do not. Our preliminary machine learning experiments involving transcription, emotion annot...
Spoken dialogue is notoriously hard to process with standard language processing technologies. Dialogue systems must indeed meet two major challenges. First, natural spoken dialogu...
We present a prototype system aimed at providing spoken dialogue support for complex procedures aboard the International Space Station. The system allows navigation one line at a ...
