• Authors: Sujeong Kim, Abhinav Garlapati, Jonah Lubin, Amir Tamrakar, Ajay Divakaran
• Abstract summary: We present a series of two studies conducted to understand user's affective states during voice-based human-machine interactions. The studies consist of two types of tasks: (1) related to communication with a voice-based virtual agent: speaking to the machine and understanding what the machine says, (2) non-communication related, problem-solving tasks where the participants solve puzzles and riddles but are asked to verbally explain the answers to the machine.

• Abstract: We present a series of two studies conducted to understand user's affective states during voice-based human-machine interactions. Emphasis is placed on the cases of communication errors or failures. In particular, we are interested in understanding "confusion" in relation with other affective states. The studies consist of two types of tasks: (1) related to communication with a voice-based virtual agent: speaking to the machine and understanding what the machine says, (2) non-communication related, problem-solving tasks where the participants solve puzzles and riddles but are asked to verbally explain the answers to the machine. We collected audio-visual data and self-reports of affective states of the participants. We report results of two studies and analysis of the collected data. The first study was analyzed based on the annotator's observation, and the second study was analyzed based on the self-report.

  We evaluate 5 major commercial ASR systems for their conversational and multilingual support. We find that word error rates for natural conversational data in 6 languages remain abysmal, and that overlap remains a key challenge. Our findings help to evaluate the current state of conversational ASR, contribute towards multidimensional error analysis and evaluation, and identify phenomena that need most attention on the way to build robust interactive speech technologies.

We find limited research on how affect and emotion predictions might be used by AI systems to enhance machine understanding of human social behaviors and cognitive states.

  We propose a conversational speech emotion recognition method to deal with capturing attentive contextual dependency and speaker-sensitive interactions. First, we use a pretrained VGGish model to extract segment-based audio representation in individual utterances. Second, an attentive bi-directional recurrent unit (GRU) models contextual-sensitive information and explores intra- and inter-speaker dependencies jointly.

As a graph constructed on the text of utterances, we then propose Question-Interlocutor Scope Realized Graph (QuISG) modeling.
