Speech technology, Wizard of Oz, and methodology for developing interactive systems

Robert Eklund, Linköping University (before this at Telia Sonera), presented course material and experiences about the methodology used in the development of interactive systems, in particular as regards language-based interaction at a seminar November 06, 2015.

At an extended seminar a whole lot was discussed: the Ozlab group and Eklund went through a 2h guest lecture for students and then the discussions centred around various research problems, not the least the circumstances around the study made once upon time at a Telia Sonera call centerweher Wizards used a GUI "piano" to genererate sentences as answers to customers' incomming calls (Eklund, 2010; Wirén m.fl., 2007). Also other R&D-related ethical issues were discussed.
Moreover, discussions also covered possible forms of collaboration and research about teaching.
