Statistical user simulation is an efficient and effective way to train and evaluate the performance of a (spoken) dialog system. In this paper, we design and evaluate a modular da...
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) typically contain elements of instruction, assessment, feedback and guidance for the trainee. Most of the time, the ITS is controlling the dialo...
We show how the recognition performance of a speech recognition component in a speech retrieval system affects the retrieval effectiveness. A speech retrieval system facilitates c...
In evolutionary robotics, controllers are often designed in simulation, then transferred onto the real system. Nevertheless, when no accurate model is available, controller transfe...
Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) have become nearly ubiquitous as a means of interacting with software systems. GUIs are typically highly complex pieces of software, and testing t...
