.... as being correct, as when it verifies information implicitly, users become confused about how to respond [5] Other studies have shown that speakers tend to switch to a prosodically marked speaking style after communication errors, comparing repetition corrections with the speech being repeated [13, 11, 7, 1]. While this speaking style may be effective in problematic human human communicative settings, there is evidence that suggests it leads to further errors in human machine interactions [7, 12] perhaps because it differs from the speech data most recognizers are trained on. In this paper, we ....

....hypotheses and selects the correct ones [5, 12, 4] Other research has identified particular types of speech variability, both across and within speakers, which may also be linked to prosodic variation, and which have been shown to have a negative impact on recognition performance. Several studies [13, 9, 11, 6, 1] report that hyperarticulate speech, characterized by careful enunciation, slowed speaking rate, and increase in pitch and loudness often occurs when users in human machine interactions try to correct system errors. Others have shown that such speech also decreases recognition performance [10] ....

....interactive animated agents. It is difficult to objectively judge the success of the agent in a system like this one an open system with completely unsupervised user interaction. However, some indications might be given by studying the speech material collected in the August database [17]. It shows an incredible variety of questions that people have been asking the system. Although some of these questions obviously are stated to test the capabilities of the system, many of them are of high complexity and are stated by people expecting a good answer. This could indicate that the ....

....spontaneous speech input from people who had little previous experience of spoken dialogue systems. The corpus has been studied from two perspectives: Firstly, user reactions during error resolution have been analyzed, revealing how users changed their way of speaking when the dialogue fails [4, 5]. Secondly, dialogues where the system responses were adequate in most dialogue turns, making the system appear reasonably intelligent [4] Many of the people who interacted with the August system seemed to be more interested in making the system respond to their spoken input rather than searching ....

....therefore be interesting from the point of view of user adaptation. Exact and approximate repetitions together constituted 12 of all utterances in the current database. Results from a phonetic investigation of exact, lexically identical repetitions in the August database have been reported in [9]. However, only those approximate repetitions displaying lexical variation were examined in the present study. This sub group made up 4 of all utterances in the corpus, or 402 utterances. The purpose of studying repetitive utterances in this paper was to get a clearer picture of any changes of ....

....almost anything and generate very human like dialogues, while it sometimes did not understand much at all. The collected speech data can be analysed from two perspectives: Firstly, how do users react during error resolution, i.e. how they change their way of speaking when the dialogue fails [3, 4]. Secondly, what do they do in dialogues where the system responses are adequate in most dialogue turns, and the system appears reasonably intelligent. The speech data constitute an interesting database of user utterances, varying from simple greetings to more complex dialogues [5] 3. SYSTEM ....
