Abstract
This paper presents new approaches to modelling both linguistic and non-linguistic feedback during instruction giving in a virtual domain. Our approach enables finegrained investigation of how language and actions are conditioned by task-level and domain-level features of dialogue. In a preliminary study, we examine the interaction between pauses in linguistic and non-linguistic activity. As far as we know, ours is the first analysis of pauses across modalities. In the longer term, we aim to use these techniques as a window on the underlying processes conditioning feedback, and for such applications as the generation of situated forms of listening, such as instruction following.
