The Effect Of Sensor Errors In Situated Human-Computer Dialogue, Niels Schütte, John D. Kelleher, Brian Mac Namee Aug 2014

The Effect Of Sensor Errors In Situated Human-Computer Dialogue, Niels Schütte, John D. Kelleher, Brian Mac Namee

Conference papers

Errors in perception are a problem for computer systems that use sensors to perceive the environment. If a computer system is engaged in dialogue with a human user, these problems in perception lead to problems in the dialogue. We present two experiments, one in which participants interact through dialogue with a robot with perfect perception to fulfil a simple task, and a second one in which the robot is affected by sensor errors and compare the resulting dialogues to determine whether the sensor problems have an impact on dialogue success.


Clarification Dialogues For Perception-Based Errors In Situated Human-Computer Dialogues, Niels Schütte, John D. Kelleher, Brian Mac Namee Jan 2014

Clarification Dialogues For Perception-Based Errors In Situated Human-Computer Dialogues, Niels Schütte, John D. Kelleher, Brian Mac Namee

Conference papers

We present an experiment about situated human-computer interaction. Participants interacted with a simulated robot system to complete a series of tasks in a situated environment. Errors were introduced into the robot's perception to produce misunderstandings. We recorded the interactions and attempt to identify strategies the participants used to solve the arising problems.
