TLDR
It is concluded that empirical studies of the unique qualities of man-machine interaction as distinct from general human discourse are required for the development of user-friendly interactive systems.Abstract:
Current approaches to the development of natural language dialogue systems are discussed, and it is claimed that they do not sufficiently consider the unique qualities of man-machine interaction as distinct from general human discourse. It is concluded that empirical studies of this unique communication situation are required for the development of user-friendly interactive systems. One way of achieving this is through the use of so-called Wizard of Oz studies. The focus of the work described in the paper is on the practical execution of the studies and the methodological conclusions drawn on the basis of the authors' experience. While the focus is on natural language interfaces, the methods used and the conclusions drawn from the results obtained are of relevance also to other kinds of intelligent interfaces.read more

Enhancing Multimedia Interfaces with Intelligence
TL;DR: The MMI2 multimodal system is described to illustrate the representation and architecture required for this class of system and the cooperative dialogue which it can support and how these technologies of context and abstract meaning representation can be incorporated in commercial multimedia applications.
Interaction aspects of wearable computing for human communication
TL;DR: This thesis presents the use of wearable computers for aiding human communication over a distance, focusing on interaction aspects that need to be resolved in order to realize this goal.

Mensch-Maschine-Kollaboration: Grundlagen, Gestaltungsherausforderungen und Potenziale für verschiedene Anwendungsdomänen
TL;DR: IT-supported human collaboration is being expanded by human-machine collaboration, in which non-human agents act more as autonomous collaboration partners, resulting in a paradigm shift in the design space towards completely new work and collaboration scenarios.

OpenWizard: une approche pour la création et l'évaluation rapide de prototypes multimodaux
Marcos Serrano,Laurence Nigay +1 more
TL;DR: OpenWizard allows the designer and the developer to rapidly test a non-fully functional multimodal prototype by replacing one modality or a composition of modalities that are not yet available by wizard of oz techniques.

The development of communication skills: modifications in the speech of young children as a function of listener
Marilyn Shatz,Rochel Gelman +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that the 4-year-old adjusted his speech with regard to the changing capacities of different-aged listeners, and the younger the 2-year old, the greater was the observed speech adjustment.

Cross-linguistic differences in parsing: Restrictions on the use of the Late Closure strategy in Spanish ☆
Fernando Cuetos,Don C. Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: The results throw doubt on the suggestion that the Late Closure strategy is favoured (in English) mainly because it is efficient in information processing terms and suggest that different languages make use of parsing strategies in an essentially arbitrary way.
