Abstract

Imagine you’ve been asked something that you cannot immediately answer. What most of us most of the time do in such cases is to signal in some way that an answer is forthcoming, by producing filled pauses, or stock phrases like “let me think”. In this project, Soledad Lopez explored in a controlled experiment what the range of such time-buying devices (as we’ve called them) is, and how their production can be modelled in dialogue systems.
