Abstract:

  Spoken dialog systems using speech recognizer and synthesizer have become popular, which makes the situation of communicating a human and a machine common. However, today's human-machine communication systems have difficulty because they lack the aspect of metacommunication, namely, communication about the communication channel. In this lecture, the meaning and possibilities of human-machine metacommunication will be discussed.
