The interactions between conversants are preformed within the realm of a sophisticated and self-managed turn taking system. In human conversations, the turn taking system supports minimal speaker overlap during turn transitions and minimum gaps between turns. Spoken dialogue systems are a new form of conversational user interface that permits users to use their voice to interact with the computer. As such, the turn taking capabilities of SDS should evolve from a simple timeout to a more human-like model. Recent advances in turn taking systems for SDS use different local features of the last few utterances to predict turn transition. This thesis explores using a summary of past speaker behavior to better predict turn transitions. We believe that the summary features represent an evolving model of the other conversant. 000007640 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007640 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000007640 650__ $$aVoice$$027899 000007640 650__ $$aSpeech$$026226 000007640 650__ $$aInterpersonal Relations$$020939 000007640 650__ $$aComputers$$016992 000007640 650__ $$aCommunication$$016935 000007640 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007640 692__ $$aDepartment of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering$$041404 000007640 692__ $$aCenter for Spoken Language Understanding$$041388 000007640 7001_ $$aMeshorer, Tomer$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007640 7201_ $$aHeeman, Peter$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000007640 8564_ $$9488885ec-8050-442a-a9ec-d393dff47b3e$$s572568$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7640/files/Meshorer.Tomer.2017.pdf$$ePublic$$224bd70b090f19e9866c7aab9c89a95df$$31 000007640 905__ $$a/rest/prod/bn/99/97/45/bn9997455 000007640 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7640$$pstudent-work 000007640 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
