Abstract:
This thesis is an inquiry into the nature and structure of face-to-face conversation, with a special focus on group meetings in the workplace. I argue that conversations are composed of episodes, each of which corresponds to an identifiable communicative activity such as giving instructions or telling a story. These activities are important because they are part of participants’ commonsense understanding of what happens in a conversation. They appear in natural summaries of conversations such as meeting minutes, and participants talk about them within the conversation itself. Episodic communic

Early detection is important to ensure that affected seniors take measures to relieve symptoms when possible or prepare plans before further cognitive decline occurs.

Distant speech recognition (DSR) has gained wide interest recently. While deep networks keep improving ASR overall, the performance gap remains between using close-talking recordings and distant recordings. Therefore the work in this thesis aims at providing some insights for further improvement of DSR performance. The investigation starts with collecting the first multi-microphone and multi-media corpus of natural spontaneous multi-party conversations in native English with the speaker location tracked, i.e. the Sheffield Wargame Corpus (SWC).

Assessing a conversational agent’s understanding capabilities is critical, as poor user interactions could seal the agent’s fate at the very beginning of its lifecycle with users abandoning the system. In this thesis we explore the use of paraphrases as a testing tool for conversational agents. Paraphrases, which are different ways of expressing the same intent, are generated based on known working input by performing lexical substitutions and by introducing multiple spelling divergences. As the expected outcome for this newly generated data is known, we can use it to assess the agent’s robust

The Korean honorific system, one of the significant grammatical systems in Korean, indicates the hierarchical social status of participants and plays an essential role in social interaction.

Speakers must choose among these verb endings and/or vocabulary items during every interaction. Therefore, the proper use of speech levels is a key factor in the expression of social identities, speakers' interpersonal feelings, and

Lorsque trois locuteurs ou plus s'y trouvent impliqués, des conversations parallèles accroissent encore le défi. En effet, les signaux de parole mixtes qui en résultent ne peuvent être soumis à une analyse acoustique informatisée. La décision de n'étudier que les extraits conversationnels en signal de parole pur, pour permettre des analyses appuyées par l'informatique, nous prive, selon nos résultats, de la moitié des manifestations prosodiques réalisées en c

Abstract:
Livros de divulgação nos permitem olhar de modo peculiar para a ciência de um período, e a percepção de padrões nessas obras pode dar indícios de como certa área de pesquisa era apresentada ao público não especializado. Nesta pesquisa investigamos textos introdutórios à química publicados na Inglaterra durante a primeira metade do século XIX, que para muitos autores representa o período de maior popularidade já experimentado por esta ciência. Sob a luz da contemporânea historiografia da ciência, valorizamos o acesso a registros originais e a reconstrução de contextos, buscando critérios contem

Abstract:
Les agents conversationnels se sont largement répandus ces dernières années. Aujourd'hui, ils ont dépassé leur objectif initial de simuler une conversation avec un programme informatique et sont désormais des outils précieux pour accéder à l'information et effectuer diverses tâches, allant du service client à l'assistance personnelle. Avec l'essor des modèles génératifs et des grands modèles de langage (LLM), les capacités des agents conversationnels ont été décuplées. Cependant, ils sont désormais sujets à des hallucinations, générant ainsi des informations erronées. Une technique populaire p

Abstract:
There is some evidence from scholarship that politeness norms in China are diversified. I maintain that a study aiming to provide systematic evidence of this would require an approach to politeness phenomena that is able to address such diversity. Drawing upon the insights of recent scholarship on the distinction between the modernist and postmodernist approaches to politeness, I survey relevant literature. I show that many current works on politeness argue that the modernist approach (Lakoff 1973/1975, Brown and Levinson 1987[1978], Leech 1983) generally tends to assume that society is relati

Now-a-days the chatbot development has been moving from the field of Artificial-Intelligence labs to the desktops and mobile domain experts. In the fastest growing technology world, most smartphone users spend major time in the messaging apps such as Facebook messenger. A chatbot is a computer program that uses messaging channels to interact with users using natural Languages. Chatbot uses appropriate mapping techniques to transform user inputs into a relational database and fetch the data by calling an existing API and then sends an appropriate response to the user to drive its chats.

Nous avons développé un cadre pour contrôler la génération des énoncés en dialogue homme-machine multi-locuteurs. Ce processus se déroule en quatre étapes : (i) la structure rhétorique du dialogue est calculée, en utilisant une émulation de la SDRT (&lt;&lt; Segmented Discourse Representation Theory &gt;&gt;) ; (ii) cette structure est utilisée pour calculer les engagements des locuteurs ; ces engagements sont utilisés pour piloter le réglage de la force illocutoire des énoncés ; (iii) les engagements sont filtrés et placés dans une pile pour chaque locuteur ; ces piles sont utilisées pour eff
