An important open question in human-robot interaction (HRI) is precisely when an agent should decide to communicate, particularly in a cooperative task.

This is evidenced not only by the fact that contemporary spoken language systems already require training data sets that are orders-of-magnitude greater than that experienced by a young child, but also by the lack of design principles for creating effective communicative human-robot interaction.

Notwithstanding the tremendous progress that is taking place in spoken language technology, effective speech-based human-robot interaction still raises a number of important challenges.

The term 'phoneme' lies at the heart of speech science and technology, and yet it is not clear that the research community fully appreciates its meaning and implications.

The answer, based on contemporary views on the special nature of (spoken) language, is that there may indeed be a fundamental limit to the interaction that can take place between mismatched interlocutors (such as humans and machines).

As part of this work we are investigating automatic feature classifiers that are able to create reliable and accurate transcriptions of the articulatory behaviour encoded in the acoustic speech signal.
