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

Development and Evaluation of a Chatbot for the Regional Museum of São João del-Rei

TL;DR: This paper presents the chatbot design in which was implemented on the IBM Watson platform and showed that implementing several chatbots is better than making a single one, because this way avoids failures in determining dialog contexts and explore more playful interaction styles, such as chatbots that pretend to be the character of some artifact.

User-independent recognition of dynamic hand gestures using a dataglove
TL;DR: This thesis shows that the user-independent recognition of dynamic hand gestures using a dataglove is feasible and can without a doubt play an effective role in its realisation.

Exploring the Design of Autonomous Vehicle-Pedestrian Interaction
TL;DR: This work attempted to tackle the problem of designing novel ways to facilitate autonomous vehicle-pedestrian interaction at crosswalks by proposing interfaces which communicate an autonomous vehicle’s awareness and intent as a means of helping pedestrians make safe crossing decisions.

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.

TL;DR: The “Wizard of Oz” technique for simulating future interactive technology and a partial taxonomy of such simulations is reviewed and a general Wizard of Oz methodology is suggested.
