To Talk or not to Talk with a Computer: On-Talk vs. O-Talk.

Anton M. Batliner, Christian Hacker, Elmar Nöth · 2006

If no specific precautions are taken, people talking to a com- puter can - the same way as while talking to another human - speak aside, either to themselves or to another person. On the one hand, the computer should notice and process such utterances in a special way; on the other hand, such utterances provide us with unique data to contrast these two registers: talking vs. not talking to a computer. By that, we can get more insight into the register 'Computer-Talk'. In this paper, we present two dierent databases, SmartKom and SmartWeb, and classify and analyse On-Talk (addressing the computer) vs. O-Talk (addressing someone else) found in these two databases.
