Understanding Speech in Interactive Narratives with Crowdsourced Data
Jeff Orkin, Deb Kumar Roy · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment · 2012
Speech recognition failures and limited vocabulary coverage pose challenges for speech interaction with characters in games. We describe an end-to-end system for automating characters from a large corpus of recorded human game logs, and demonstrate that inferring utterance meaning through a combination of plan recognition and surface text similarity compensates for recognition and understanding failures significantly better than relying on surface similarity alone.
