    • Analysing patterns of right brain-hemisphere activity prior to speech articulation for identification of system-directed speech 

      Campbell, Nick (2019)
      Autonomous speech-enabled applications such as speech-to-speech machine translation, conversational agents, and spoken dialogue systems need to be able to distinguish system-directed user input from “off-talk” to function ...

    • Annotation of greeting, introduction, and leavetaking in dialogues

    • Exploring the Role of Laughter in Multiparty Conversation 

      Vogel, Carl; Campbell, Nick (ILLC, 2013)
      We report ongoing work on laughter in task based and social multiparty human conversation, outlining work to date on laughter around topic change, annotation procedures developed and current ...

    • Laughter and Topic Transition in Multiparty Conversation 

      Vogel, Carl; Campbell, Nick (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2013)
      This study explores laughter distribution around topic changes in multiparty conversations. The distribution of shared and solo laughter around topic changes was examined in corpora containing two types of spoken interaction; ...

    • Stitching together the conversation - considerations in the design of extended social talk
