Tanvi Dinkar, Pierre Colombo, Matthieu Labeau +1
While being an essential component of spoken language, fillers (e.g."um" or "uh") often remain overlooked in Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) tasks. We explore the possibility o…
Hierarchical Pre-training for Sequence Labelling in Spoken Dialog
Emile Chapuis, Pierre Colombo, Matteo Manica +2
Sequence labelling tasks like Dialog Act and Emotion/Sentiment identification are a key component of spoken dialog systems. In this work, we propose a new approach to learn generic…
Sequence-to-Sequence Predictive Model: From Prosody To Communicative Gestures
Fajrian Yunus, Chloé Clavel, Catherine Pelachaud
Communicative gestures and speech acoustic are tightly linked. Our objective is to predict the timing of gestures according to the acoustic. That is, we want to predict when a cert…
On-the-fly Detection of User Engagement Decrease in Spontaneous Human-Robot Interaction, International Journal of Social Robotics, 2019
Atef Ben Youssef, Giovanna Varni, Slim Essid +1
In this paper, we consider the detection of a decrease of engagement by users spontaneously interacting with a socially assistive robot in a public space. We first describe the UE-…
Heavy-tailed Representations, Text Polarity Classification & Data Augmentation
Hamid Jalalzai, Pierre Colombo, Chloé Clavel +4
The dominant approaches to text representation in natural language rely on learning embeddings on massive corpora which have convenient properties such as compositionality and dist…
Guider l'attention dans les modeles de sequence a sequence pour la prediction des actes de dialogue
Pierre Colombo, Emile Chapuis, Matteo Manica +3
The task of predicting dialog acts (DA) based on conversational dialog is a key component in the development of conversational agents. Accurately predicting DAs requires a precise…
