A multi-party attentive listening robot which stimulates involvement from side participants

no code implementations SIGDIAL (ACL) 2021 Koji Inoue, Hiromi Sakamoto, Kenta Yamamoto, Divesh Lala, Tatsuya Kawahara

We demonstrate the moderating abilities of a multi-party attentive listening robot system when multiple people are speaking in turns.

An Attentive Listening System with Android ERICA: Comparison of Autonomous and WOZ Interactions

no code implementations SIGDIAL (ACL) 2020 Koji Inoue, Divesh Lala, Kenta Yamamoto, Shizuka Nakamura, Katsuya Takanashi, Tatsuya Kawahara

The proposed system generates several types of listener responses: backchannels, repeats, elaborating questions, assessments, generic sentimental responses, and generic responses.

Simultaneous Job Interview System Using Multiple Semi-autonomous Agents

no code implementations SIGDIAL (ACL) 2022 Haruki Kawai, Yusuke Muraki, Kenta Yamamoto, Divesh Lala, Koji Inoue, Tatsuya Kawahara

We propose a simultaneous job interview system, where one interviewer can conduct one-on-one interviews with multiple applicants simultaneously by cooperating with the multiple autonomous job interview dialogue systems.

Multilingual Turn-taking Prediction Using Voice Activity Projection

no code implementations11 Mar 2024 Koji Inoue, Bing'er Jiang, Erik Ekstedt, Tatsuya Kawahara, Gabriel Skantze

The results show that a monolingual VAP model trained on one language does not make good predictions when applied to other languages.

Evaluation of a semi-autonomous attentive listening system with takeover prompting

no code implementations21 Feb 2024 Haruki Kawai, Divesh Lala, Koji Inoue, Keiko Ochi, Tatsuya Kawahara

To this end, we propose a semi-autonomous system, where a remote operator can take control of an autonomous attentive listening system in real-time.

1 code implementation10 Jan 2024 Koji Inoue, Bing'er Jiang, Erik Ekstedt, Tatsuya Kawahara, Gabriel Skantze

A demonstration of a real-time and continuous turn-taking prediction system is presented.

An Analysis of User Behaviors for Objectively Evaluating Spoken Dialogue Systems

no code implementations10 Jan 2024 Koji Inoue, Divesh Lala, Keiko Ochi, Tatsuya Kawahara, Gabriel Skantze

To address this issue, we propose a framework for indirectly but objectively evaluating systems based on users' behaviors.
