The subject of this demonstration is natural language interaction, focusing on adaptivity and profiling of the dialogue management and the generated output (text and speech). These are demonstrated in a museum guide use-case, operating in a simulated environment. The main technical innovations presented are the profiling model, the dialogue and action management system, and the text generation and speech synthesis systems. | Adaptive Natural Language Interaction Stasinos Konstantopoulos Ion Androutsopoulos Athanasios Tegos Gerasimos Lampouras Dimitris Bilidas Prodromos Malakasiotis NCSR Demokritos .

Abstract The subject of this demonstration is natural language interaction focusing on adaptivity and profiling of the dialogue management and the generated output text and speech . These are demonstrated in a museum guide use-case operating in a simulated environment. The main technical innovations presented are the profiling model the dialogue and action management system and the text generation and speech synthesis systems. 1 Introduction In this demonstration we present a number of state-of-the art language technology tools implementing and integrating the latest discourse and knowledge representation theories into a complete application suite including dialogue management natural language generation and speech synthesis all modulated by a flexible and highly adaptable profiling mechanism robust speech recognition and language interpretation and an authoring environment for developing the representation of the domain of discourse as well as the associated linguistic and adaptivity resources. The system demonstration is based on a use case of a virtual-tour guide in a museum domain. Demonstration visitors interact with the guide using headsets and are able to experiment with loading different interaction profiles and observing the differences in the guide s behaviour. The demonstration also includes the screening of videos from an embodied instantiation of the system as a robot guiding visitors in a museum.

Adaptivity here refers to using interaction profiles .
