Situation related recognition of application relevant dispositions from speech (C02)

• Subject Area: Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing
• Term: from 2009 to 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 54371073

Subproject C2 evaluates acoustics from speech for the generation of an informed disposition recognition from speech using spectral, prosodic and paralinguistic features. In combination with a feedback-loop linked to the knowledge base, a recognition of intentions and interactional styles is established which can be applied for an adaptive, goal-oriented dialogue management. Further, these approaches will be adapted and optimised for mobile applications and devices. Moreover, in the project a detection of involvement will be implemented for both single and multi-user scenarios. The obtained information on disposition, intention, and involvement will be iteratively propagated to the knowledge base for further symbolic processing.
