Application of Verbal Intelligence in Dialog Systems for Multimodal Interaction

摘要

In this paper we present a prototypical dialog system adaptive to verbal user intelligence. Verbal intelligence (VI) is the ability to analyze information and to solve problems using language-based reasoning. VI can be analyzed by the number of reused words, lemmas, n-grams, cosine similarity and other features. Here we concentrate on the application of VI in a human-computer interaction (HCI) and how this value can be used by the dialog management to adapt the dialog flow, and complexity at run-time. In our work complexity as well as informative value of presented information can be reduced or increased when encountering human-computer interaction by individually adapting to a lower or higher verbally intelligent user. Especially in intelligent environments, where user's may rely on speech as their primary interaction modality, the adaptation of system instructions to the the user's VI could prove helpful.
