The ElPaCo project is represented at the first installment of Dutch Speech Tech Day, a new event that “connects students, researchers, developers and users of speech technology in the Netherlands.”
We’ll be presenting a poster How we talk: lessons for interactive speech technology. In keeping with the goal of the Speech Tech Day to share the latest insights, our poster provides a broad-ranging overview of recent work in the Elementary Particles of Conversation project. It summarizes work from the following papers :
