Abstract:

This book is a collection of eleven chapters which together represent an
original contribution to the field of (multimodal) spoken dialogue systems.
The chapters include highly relevant topics, such as dialogue modeling in
research systems versus industrial systems, evaluation, miscommunication
and error handling, grounding, statistical and corpus-based approaches to
discourse and dialogue modeling, data analysis, and corpus annotation and
annotation tools. The book contains several detailed application studies,
including, e.g., speech-controlled MP3 players in a car environment,
negotiation training with a virtual human in a military context,
application of spoken dialogue to question-answering systems, and cognitive
aspects in tutoring systems. The chapters vary considerably with respect to
the level of expertise required in advance to benefit from them. However,
most chapters start with a state-of-the-art description from which all
readers from the spoken dialogue community may benefit. Overview chapters
and state-of-the-art descriptions may also be of interest to people from
the human-computer interaction community.

Written for:
Advanced graduate students, PhD students, academic and industrial
researchers and practitioners 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
