Multi-threaded dialogues

We envision that next-generation speech user interfaces (SUI) will enable users to engage in multiple tasks at the same time in a hands-busy and eyes-busy environment, resulting in conversations in which threads of dialogues are interleaved. Such a capability would be useful in a number of ubiquitous computing domains where a subject needs to interact with multiple devices in real-time. For example, it would allow a police officer to receive computer-aided dispatches while querying remote license plate databases. It would also allow a driver in a car to catch up on email and occasionally check upcoming traffic conditions or receive navigation instructions. In our definition, each dialogue thread is about a different topic.

The major hypothesis of our research is that we can model the conventions humans use in multi-threaded dialogues with other humans and develop next-generation SUIs based on this model.
