“…What, then, are the good candidates? The broad answer is anything that is observable in human-human communication, but they can be exemplified by phenomena others have looked at: Kawamoto et al (2004) mentions grunts and back-channel feedback, use of prosody to indicate utterance type and emotion, incremental understanding and interruptability, and facial animation with lip synchronisation; Porzel (2006) focuses on turn-taking issues; to mention but a few.…”

“…Some, e.g., CSLU and SpeechBuilder, have also been used for educational purposes. And yet others, such as Olympus, GALATEEA (Kawamoto et al, 2002) and DIPPER (Bos et al, 2003) are primarily used for research. Different toolkits rely on different theories and dialog representations: finite-state, slot-filling, plan-based, information state-update.…”

We introduce Olympus, a freely available framework for research in conversational interfaces. Olympus' open, transparent, flexible, modular and scalable nature facilitates the development of large-scale, real-world systems, and enables research leading to technological and scientific advances in conversational spoken language interfaces. In this paper, we describe the overall architecture, several systems spanning different domains, and a number of current research efforts supported by Olympus.
