Proceedings of SpoHuMa21 available
23 Feb 2022The proceedings of our conference about human perspectives on spoken human-machine interaction (HMI) are now available online. 📖 #openaccess 🔓
The papers presented at SpoHuMa21 explore spoken HMI from various angles. The contributions by Ibrahim & Skantze and Sinha & Siegert examine how human speech in HMI changes depending on the addressee and what challenges are involved in understanding its variability. Allen and Leisten & Rieser investigate another aspect of human speech, namely gender-based perception and behavior differences, and how these may influence the attitude towards speaking devices. Various medical applications that leverage spoken HMI are presented by Collins, Bevacqua, De Loor, & Querrec, Attas, Kellett, Blackmore, & Christensen, and Pevy, Christensen, Walker, & Reuber. These include seizure narration, emotion dimensions of speakers with anxiety disorders, and virtual medical assistance. Finally, Honkalammi, Veivo, & Johansson and Chen, Liesenfeld, Li, & Yao deal with cooperative aspects of spoken HMI, such as advice giving in learning processes and the effect of computer disfluency on memory recall.
