Abstract

Alignment of interlocutors is a well known psycholinguistic phenomenon of great relevance for dialogue systems in general and natural language generation in particular. In this paper, we present the alignment-capable microplanner SPUD prime. Using a priming-based model of interactive alignment, it is flexible enough to model the alignment behaviour of human speakers to a high degree. This will allow for further investigation of which parameters are important to model alignment and how the human--computer interaction changes when the computer aligns to its users.
