Abstract: Being responsive is important in dialog. In particular, back-channel feedback is essential to human conversations. Back-channel feedback is sometimes produced without thinking, in response to simple prosodic clues. A simple implementation of this behavior produces natural-sounding responses in conversation with live human subjects. |
