How Far Do Speakers Back Up in Repairs? A Quantitative Model
We propose a quantitative model that predicts the overall distribution of retrace lengths in a large corpus of spontaneous speech, based only on word position. Results have implications for modeling…

Crosslinguistic Disfluency Modeling: A Comparative Analysis of Swedish and American English Human-Human and Human-Machine Dialogues
We report results from a cross-language study of disfluencies (DFs) in Swedish and American English human-machine and human-human dialogs. We focus on differences suggestive of how speakers utilize DFs in…

Modeling Dynamic Prosodic Variation for Speaker Verification
In this work, we take a first step toward capturing suprasegmental patterns for automatic speaker verification. Prosody modeling improves the verification performance of a cepstrum-based Gaussian mixture model system (as…

Lexical, Prosodic, and Syntactic Cues for Dialog Acts
This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the realization of a particular class of dialog acts which play an essential structuring role in dialog, the backchannels or acknowledgements tokens. We…

Controlling Communication in Distributed Planning Using Irrelevance Reasoning
This paper describes an approach to controlling information distribution among planning agents using irrelevance reasoning. We describe an implementation of this approach within a distributed version of the SIPE-2 planner.
