Design for a System able to use Time-Critical Spoken Advice

Shunsuke Soeda and Nigel Ward

Abstract: In collaborative action where a human is interacting with a semi-autonomous intelligent system, sub-second reponsiveness is often called for. This can be done, in part, by extracting the prosody of spoken language advice and using this information to bias the system's selection of its next action. This paper describes such a system.
