Proactive Spoken Dialogue Interaction in Multi-Party Environments
Author: Petra-Maria Strauss
Status: completed
Description:
The thesis is carried out within the framework of the project "Landesforschungsschwerpunkt Baden-Württemberg: The Computer as a Dialogue Partner - Perception and Interaction in Multi-User Environments". This project will develop novel mechanisms and principles of systems architectures for intelligent human-computer interaction and evaluate these by using psycho-physical and psycho-biological test methods. We aim at the creation of advanced user interfaces with extended perceptual and interactive capabilities utilizing adaptive mechanisms and their ability to learn. Such systems should be capable of analyzing the spatio-temporal and user-specific context of interaction, possibly with multiple partners.
The focus of the envisoned thesis work is on the development of Spoken Language Dialogue System components with regard to the adaptiveness and proactiveness of the human-computer-interface. Within the thesis we particularly want to extend the dialogue system's capabilities in multiuser environments. The Spoken Language Dialogue System will be modelled as an independent conversational partner. Passively observing the dialogue between the human users and capturing the relevant conversational context, the system should take the initiative and get meaningfully involved in the communication process when it is required by the conversational situation.
