Abstract

Addressee detection is an important challenge to tackle in order to improve dialogical interactions between humans and agents. This detection, essential for turn-taking models, is a hard task in multiparty conditions. Rule based as well as statistical approaches have been explored. Statistical approaches, particularly deep learning approaches, require a huge amount of data to train. However, smart feature selection can help improve addressee detection on small datasets, particularly if multimodal information is available. In this article, we propose a statistical approach based on smart feature selection that exploits contextual and multimodal information for addressee detection. The results show that our model outperforms an existing baseline.
