Computer Speech and Language (CSL) Special Issue on Speech and Language for Interactive Robots
AIMS AND SCOPE
Speech-based communication with robots faces important challenges for their application in real world scenarios. In contrast to conventional interactive systems, a talking robot always needs to take its physical environment into account when communicating with users. This is typically unstructured, dynamic and noisy and raises important challenges. The objective of this special issue is to highlight research that applies speech and language processing to robots that interact with people through speech as the main modality of interaction. For example, a robot may need to communicate with users via distant speech recognition and understanding with constantly changing degrees of noise. Alternatively, the robot may coordinate its verbal turn-taking behaviour with its non-verbal one such as generating speech and gestures at the same time.… read more. “Call: Speech and Language for Interactive Robots – Special issue of Computer Speech and Language (CSL)”
