Collection and Analysis of Travel Agency Task Dialogues with Age-Diverse Speakers

no code implementations LREC 2022 Michimasa Inaba, Yuya Chiba, Ryuichiro Higashinaka, Kazunori Komatani, Yusuke Miyao, Takayuki Nagai

This paper provides details of the dialogue task, the collection procedure and annotations, and the analysis on the characteristics of the dialogues and facial expressions focusing on the age of the speakers.

Dialogue Collection for Recording the Process of Building Common Ground in a Collaborative Task

no code implementations LREC 2022 Koh Mitsuda, Ryuichiro Higashinaka, Yuhei Oga, Sen Yoshida

To develop a dialogue system that can build common ground with users, the process of building common ground through dialogue needs to be clarified.

Data Collection for Empirically Determining the Necessary Information for Smooth Handover in Dialogue

no code implementations LREC 2022 Sanae Yamashita, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

In this study, we conducted a data collection experiment in which one of two operators talked to a user and switched with the other operator periodically while exchanging notes when the handovers took place.

Analysis of Dialogue in Human-Human Collaboration in Minecraft

no code implementations LREC 2022 Takuma Ichikawa, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

We also collected third-person evaluations of the gardens and analyzed the relationship between dialogue and collaborative work that received high scores on the subjective and third-person evaluations in order to identify dialogic factors for high-quality collaborative work.

A Speculative and Tentative Common Ground Handling for Efficient Composition of Uncertain Dialogue

no code implementations LREC 2022 Saki Sudo, Kyoshiro Asano, Koh Mitsuda, Ryuichiro Higashinaka, Yugo Takeuchi

This study investigates how the grounding process is composed and explores new interaction approaches that adapt to human cognitive processes that have not yet been significantly studied.

JMultiWOZ: A Large-Scale Japanese Multi-Domain Task-Oriented Dialogue Dataset

1 code implementation26 Mar 2024 Atsumoto Ohashi, Ryu Hirai, Shinya Iizuka, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

In this study, towards the advancement of research and development of task-oriented dialogue systems in Japanese, we constructed JMultiWOZ, the first Japanese language large-scale multi-domain task-oriented dialogue dataset.

Team Flow at DRC2023: Building Common Ground and Text-based Turn-taking in a Travel Agent Spoken Dialogue System

no code implementations21 Dec 2023 Ryu Hirai, Shinya Iizuka, Haruhisa Iseno, Ao Guo, Jingjing Jiang, Atsumoto Ohashi, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

At the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023), which was held to improve the capability of dialogue robots, our team developed a system that could build common ground and take more natural turns based on user utterance texts.

Team Flow at DRC2022: Pipeline System for Travel Destination Recommendation Task in Spoken Dialogue

no code implementations18 Oct 2022 Ryu Hirai, Atsumoto Ohashi, Ao Guo, Hideki Shiroma, Xulin Zhou, Yukihiko Tone, Shinya Iizuka, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

After the preliminary round of the competition, we found that the low variation in training examples for the NLU and failed recommendation due to the policy used were probably the main reasons for the limited performance of the system.

Adaptive Natural Language Generation for Task-oriented Dialogue via Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation COLING 2022 Atsumoto Ohashi, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

When a natural language generation (NLG) component is implemented in a real-world task-oriented dialogue system, it is necessary to generate not only natural utterances as learned on training data but also utterances adapted to the dialogue environment (e. g., noise from environmental sounds) and the user (e. g., users with low levels of understanding ability).

Post-processing Networks: Method for Optimizing Pipeline Task-oriented Dialogue Systems using Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation SIGDIAL (ACL) 2022 Atsumoto Ohashi, Ryuichiro Higashinaka

Many studies have proposed methods for optimizing the dialogue performance of an entire pipeline task-oriented dialogue system by jointly training modules in the system using reinforcement learning.
