Robustness in Speech Based Interfaces: Sharing the Tricks of the Trade
| |
|
Call for Participation Background Workshop Goals Workshop structure Participants Organisers Workshop proposal Workshop papers Preliminary schedule |
This one-day
workshop will bring together researchers, designers, developers, and early
adopters of speech based interface technology to study how greater user
satisfaction can be obtained, not by increasing the accuracy of the underlying
technology, but by applying the tricks and tools of the trade to create a more
robust interaction.
The following questions will be discussed:
Each participant should submit a position paper (no more than three
pages) describing lessons-learned and recommendations for increasing
the robustness of a speech based interface. Ideally, the participants
will describe two or more, "tricks of the trade" that they have tried
and their experience with these. While it always is interesting to
hear about and learn from success stories, perhaps even more can be
learned from failure stories. By sharing knowledge about approaches
tried without success, other workers and project teams need not walk
down the same cul-de-sac.
Another important issue in learning from
experience is knowing in which contexts the lessons learned apply and
in which contexts they can not be applied. What we hope will emerge
from the workshop is not only a list of 'this works' and 'this doesn't
work', but also qualifications of these statements with respect to
different conditions.
Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2002 The papers will be selected based
on their relevance and originality. All participants will be asked to
come prepared to discuss their experience with the suggestions put
forward in the other workshop position papers. |
