Abstract

This paper presents a simple, yet effective model for managing attention and interaction control in multimodal spoken dialogue systems. The model allows the user to switch attention between the system and other humans, and the system to stop and resume speaking. An evaluation in a tutoring setting shows that the user's attention can be effectively monitored using head pose tracking, and that this is a more reliable method than using push-to-talk.
