Abstract

This introductory tutorial overviews recent advancement and current efforts in the integration of speech processing with other components of spoken-dialogue systems. It examines important results in designing, constructing, and evaluating complete conversational systems that integrate speech recognition and synthesis with other enabling technologies. Among the disciplines contributing material for the course are, therefore, speech recognition and synthesis, but also natural language processing, user-interface design, machine translation, planning and plan recognition, gesture analysis, computational discourse, and usability evaluation. The full-day course is comprised of four sessions including an introduction to the state of the art, review of existing spoken interface systems, the integration of speech processing with other interaction modalities, and a closing session on evaluation methods, tools for developing spoken dialogue systems, and other issues affecting the spoken interface community.
