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

Analysis and semantic modeling of modality preferences in industrial human-robot interaction
TL;DR: It is shown how the results of the user study can be formalized in a semantic description language in such a way that a cognitive robotic workcell can benefit from the additional knowledge of input and output modalities, task parameter types, and preferred combinations of the two.

A Longitudinal Video Study on Communicating Status and Intent for Self-Driving Vehicle Pedestrian Interaction
TL;DR: It is found that pedestrians benefit from an eHMI communicatingSDVs' status, and that additionally communicating SDVs' intent adds further value, and it is concluded that SDVs should be equipped with an e HMI communicating both status and intent.

TL;DR: It is proposed that increasing the physicality of an ECA can increase the ECA's social presence, that is, the feeling that the E CA is a real person.

Towards more natural digital content manipulation via user freehand gestural interaction in a living room
TL;DR: Through the study, many useful issues and implications for making freehand gesture interaction design more natural in a living room environment were generated which have not been covered in previous works.

Zero Effort Technologies: Considerations, Challenges and Use in Health, Wellness, and Rehabilitation
TL;DR: This book introduces zero-effort technologies (ZETs), an emerging class of technology that requires little or no effort from the people who use it, and presents concepts in the development of pervasive intelligent technologies and environments for health and rehabilitation.

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.

Simulating speech systems

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.
