Title:<\/strong> Co-producing Action: ‘Device talk’ and voice agents
\nSpeaker:<\/strong> Dr Stuart Reeves (Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Nottingham)<\/a>
\nDate and time:<\/strong> Wednesday 13 March 2019, 1pm-2pm
\nHosted by:<\/strong> Professor Luigina Ciolfi<\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>
\nThe collaborative production of sentences in progress is a pervasive feature of everyday talk. For instance, phenomena such as choral co-production and other-completion of utterances have received substantive attention (see Lerner 2002, 1991, 2004).<\/p>\n

Using a corpus of recordings of in-home interactions with Amazon Echo, we focus on the ways in which the use of voice-driven computer interfaces creates new methodological challenges for conversationalists’ co-production practices. In particular, we focus on co-production in the course of performing tasks with the Echo such as requesting information, playing music, or setting an alarm, which are largely initiated as a compound ‘wake word’ + directive\/question format. Use of the wake word as initiator projects the compound action, and makes it available to others to also complete (Lerner 1991).<\/p>\n

However unlike conversation, utterances directed towards the device are subject to a range of technological hurdles (speech-to-text transcription, lexical parsing, dialogue management, text-to-speech generation) that constrain voice input in various ways (and are largely unavailable from a users’ point of view).<\/p>\n

Thus, co-production practices must be adapted to fit in appropriate ways to the rigidities of these ‘conversational’ interfaces in order to support initiation and turn-by-turn interactional progressivity of the talk environment with \/ around the device.<\/p>\n

Conversationalists must learn, in short, how to do ‘device talk’ and integrate it into the organisation of everyday conversation.<\/p>\n

Biography:<\/strong>
\nDr Stuart Reeves is Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, and is a member of the Mixed Reality Lab and Horizon. He recently held an EPSRC Fellowship investigating the connections between academic HCI research communities and the work of practitioners in UX\/IxD\/IA and other design professions. He is also Co-I on EPSRC grant “From Human Data to Personal Experience”.<\/p>\n
