Abstract

Speech recognition systems are now used in a wide variety of domains. They have recently been introduced in cars for hand-free control of radio, cell-phone and navigation applications. However, due to the ambient noise in the car recognition errors are relatively frequent. This paper tackles the problem of detecting when such recognition errors occur from the driver’s reaction. Automatic detection of communication errors in dialogue-based systems has been explored extensively in the speech community. The detection is most often based on prosody cues such as intensity and pitch. However, recent perceptual studies indicate that the detection can be improved significantly if both acoustic and visual modalities are taken into account. To this end, we present a framework for automatic audio-visual detection of communication errors.
