口语对话系统越来越多地被用于促进和加强人类交流。虽然这些互动系统可以处理人类交流的语言方面，但它们还不能处理社会互动中涉及的复杂动态，例如对话者的适应。然而，为交互系统提供处理和展示这种调节的能力可以提高它们的效率，并使机器更具社会能力interactants.目前，没有自动系统可用于处理韵律调节，也没有任何明确的措施存在，量化其动态表现。虽然它可以被观察到是一个单调明显的属性，这是我们的假设，它动态地演变与功能的社会aspects.在本文中，我们提出了一个自动系统，其测量和捕捉其动态表现。我们调查了41个日语电话对话中韵律调节的演变，并讨论了其在社会交往中的作用。总体而言，我们的研究表明，韵律调节动态变化的过程中的会话和跨会话，这些动态通知的自然性的会话流，扬声器的参与程度和他们的亲和力在会话中。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Spoken dialogue systems are increasingly being used to facilitate and enhance human communication. While these interactive systems can process the linguistic aspects of human communication, they are not yet capable of processing the complex dynamics involved in social interaction, such as the adaptation on the part of interlocutors. Providing interactive systems with the capacity to process and exhibit this accommodation could however improve their efficiency and make machines more socially-competent interactants.At present, no automatic system is available to process prosodic accommodation, nor do any clear measures exist that quantify its dynamic manifestation. While it can be observed to be a monotonically manifest property, it is our hypotheses that it evolves dynamically with functional social aspects.In this paper, we propose an automatic system for its measurement and the capture of its dynamic manifestation. We investigate the evolution of prosodic accommodation in 41 Japanese dyadic telephone conversations and discuss its manifestation in relation to its functions in social interaction. Overall, our study shows that prosodic accommodation changes dynamically over the course of a conversation and across conversations, and that these dynamics inform about the naturalness of the conversation flow, the speakers' degree of involvement and their affinity in the conversation.
