Systems and methods for determining and using interaction models
First Claim
1. A method of determining user interactions comprising the steps of:
- determining speech information;
determining discourse functions and prosodic features in the speech information;
determining a predictive interaction model; and
determining an interaction turn based on the predictive interaction model and the determined discourse functions and prosodic features.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining and using interaction models. Discourse functions, prosodic features and turn information are determined from the speech information in a training corpus. Statistics, decision trees, rules and/or various other methods are used to determine a predictive interaction model based on the discourse functions, the prosodic features and the turn information. Predictive interaction models are optionally determined for individual users, genres, languages and/or other characteristics of the speech information. The predictive interaction model is useable to predict turns in a dialogue based on the discourse functions and prosodic features identified in the speech information. Speech information is presented and/or received based on the predictive interaction model.
