Alignment in a Multimodal Interlingual Computer-Mediated Map Task Corpus
(2018)This work presents an assessment of interlocutor alignment using a semi-automated method in the context of multimodal interlingual (English-Portuguese) computer-mediated interactions. We study the adaptation phenomenon ... -
Chat, Chunk and Topic in Casual Conversation
(2018)Casual conversation does not follow a highly interactive ‘ping-pong’ structure but rather develops as a sequence of ‘chat’ and ‘chunk’ phases. Chat phases are highly interactive stretches amenable to Conversation Analysis, ... -
Chats and Chunks: Annotation and Analysis of Multiparty Long Casual Conversations
(2018)Casual talk or social conversation is a fundamental form of spoken interaction. Corpora of casual talk often comprise relatively short dyadic conversations, although research into such talk has found longer multiparty ... -

Dialog acts in greeting and leavetaking in social talk
(2017)Conversation proceeds through dialogue moves or acts, and dialog act annotation can aid the design of artificial dialog. While many dialogs are task-based or instrumental, with clear goals, as in the case of a service ... -
The discourse value of social signals at topic change moments
(2015)The dynamics of social interactions during human-human conversation have attracted the attention of many researchers aiming at improving the naturalness of automatic dialogue systems and creating socially aware machines. ... -
A discourse-analytic framework for conversational engagement in online discussion tasks, part 2: level of analytic depth
(2015)What do we mean by “engagement” in the context of online discussions? How do we recognise it? Is it quantifiable? Can we find ways of analysing it that might be of assistance to task designers, instructors, and students? This ... -
Disfluency in Multiparty Social Talk

Gender differences in the language of the Map Task dialogues

Gestural linguistic context vectors encode gesture meaning
(2023)Linguistic context vectors are adapted for measuring the lin- guistic contexts that accompany gestures and comparable co- linguistic behaviours. Focusing on gestural semiotic types, it is demonstrated that gestural ... -
Gesture and Part-of-Speech Alignment in Dialogue
(2022)This paper studies the relation between language and gesture in interaction by investigating the temporal alignment of gestures and the words they co-occur with in a corpus of taskbased dialogues. Specifically, we examine ... -
Linguistic Repetitions, Task-based Experience and A Proxy Measure of Mutual Understanding
(IEEE, 2017)The way dialogue partners collaborate to achieve a joint task is dependent on the way they construct a common ground of knowledge. Diverse conversational mechanisms are involved in developing a common ground, and repetition ... -
Map Task Deviation Scores: A Reconstruction
(2020)The Human Communication Research Centre Map Task Corpus is a landmark data source for analysis of multimodal dialogue corpora. The task in this dialogue is the communication by an information giver of a path on a map to ... -
Measuring Synchrony in Task-based Dialogues
(ISCA, 2017)In many contexts from casual everyday conversations to formal discussions, people tend to repeat their interlocutors, and themselves. This phenomenon not only yields random repetitions one might expect from a natural Zipfian ... -
Mutual Gaze and Linguistic Repetition in a Multimodal Corpus
(European Language Resources Association, 2022)This paper investigates the correlation between mutual gaze and linguistic repetition, a form of alignment, which we take as evidence of mutual understanding. We focus on a multimodal corpus made of three-party conversations ... -
On-Talk and Off-Talk Detection: A Discrete Wavelet Transform Analysis of Electroencephalogram
(2018)Spoken interaction with a machine results in a behaviour that is not very common in face-to-face human communication: Off-Talk, which is defined as speech utterances that are not directed to an immediate interlocutor, the ...
