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

Are you convinced? A Wizard of Oz study to test emotional vs. rational persuasion strategies in dialogues
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that Emotional Positive strategies may be the most effective strategies for persuasion via a computer-mediated dialogue about Tai Chi.
Embodied Core Mechanics : Designing for movement-based co-located play
TL;DR: This research presents a meta-modelling framework that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of designing and testing movement-based interactive systems for play.

TL;DR: A qualitative user evaluation provided support for two hypotheses: 1) that displaying statistics of other travellers’ booking choices would support users in the booking process, and 2) that users would form their own recommendations if presented with background information.

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
Norman Fraser,Nigel Gilbert +1 more
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.
