Interactivism in Spoken Dialogue Systems

TL;DR

This paper explores the application of the interactivism theoretical framework to spoken dialogue systems, proposing design principles grounded in psycholinguistic and communication theories to enhance dialogue modeling.

Contribution

It introduces a set of design principles based on interactivism for improving spoken dialogue systems, bridging theory and practical implementation.

Findings

Proposes interactivism as a theoretical foundation for SDS

Links psycholinguistic theories to dialogue system design

Provides a framework for future SDS development

Abstract

The interactivism model introduces a dynamic approach to language, communication and cognition. In this work, we explore this fundamental theory in the context of dialogue modelling for spoken dialogue systems (SDS). To extend such a theoretical framework, we present a set of design principles which adhere to central psycholinguistic and communication theories to achieve interactivism in SDS. From these, key ideas are linked to constitute the basis of our proposed design principles.
