Turn-taking behavior is simulated in a coupled-agents system. Each agent is modeled as a mobile robot with two wheels. A recurrent neural network is used to produce the motor outpu...
When human listeners utter Listener Responses (e.g. back-channels or acknowledgments) such as ‘yeah’ and ‘mmhmm’, interlocutors commonly continue to speak or resume their ...
This paper presents techniques for analyzing channel contract specifications in Microsoft Research’s Singularity operating system. A channel contract is a state machine that sp...
The goal of this paper is to present a computational framework that enables us to generate elementary speech act sequences in a dialogue between an electronic assistant and a compu...
Abstract. Non-committing encryption enables the construction of multiparty computation protocols secure against an adaptive adversary in the computational setting where private cha...
