Meeting Description: 

This is a one-day workshop at the CHI 2019 conference aimed at researchers and
practitioners involved in speech-based human-computer interaction (HCI) work.
In particular, we're looking for contributions that discuss theoretical
concepts and methods used in speech interface research - those that exist and
how we may need to redefined them in speech-HCI contexts. This is a part-day
workshop and participants are encouraged to submit 2-page provocation papers
by February 12 2019.
 

Program:

The conference will run from 14:30-20:00 on Sunday 5 May 2019. This will be
followed by a social event.

Introductions (10 MINS)
Brief introductions outlining workshop structure, setting collaborative tone
and reiterating workshop goals.

Participant Talks (50 MINS)
Participants will conduct 3 minute presentations of their papers, focusing on
relevant theories, methods and applications around speech interfaces.

Keynote Speakers (1 HOUR 15 MINS)
Our two keynote speakers will be Professor Holly Branigan and Professor
Michael McTear.

Prof. Branigan will give a keynote presentation on dialogue theory use in
human-machine dialogue. Prof. Branigan Professor of Psychology of Language and
Cognition at the University of Edinburgh and a leading researcher in the field
of psycholinguistics with experience of researching speech interface issues.
She 

Prof. McTear will give a keynote about the methods used through the speech
domain to explore user behaviour in interaction. Prof. McTear is Emeritus
Professor at Ulster University, Belfast and a leading researcher in the field
of spoken dialogue systems, having written a leading book on the subject.

Coffee Break (30 MINS)

User Behaviours & Theory Mapping (1 HOUR)
Using recorded interactions with speech interfaces as data probes, groups will
be asked to categorise and discuss causes of user behaviours identified.

Groups will then be asked to reflect on theoretical perspectives to understand
user behaviour. Taking the user behaviours identified above, the same groups
will take the theories identified in presentations and discuss: 1) how they
can be used to explain or explore user behaviours and 2) the challenges faced;
3) the opportunities for new theory. From this we will produce a graphical
theory challenge map depicting existing theory issues and opportunities for
speech interface interaction.

Lunch (1 HOUR)

Methods (1 HOUR)
We will explore how to research the challenges identified in Topic 5 using
their chosen methods. This will use the “Disney Brainstorming Method” -
thinking styles of outsiders, dreamers, realisers and critics.

Workshop Summary & Future Planning (15 MINS)
We will discuss the need for unique theoretical frameworks, methods and
potential speech interaction datasets and how these need to be validated and
applied in other application areas of speech interfaces. We will also plan how
to communicate our ideas to others outside of our workshops, including to
other workshops accepted at CHI 2019.
