Classes of Applications for Social Robots: A User Study (2008)
Frank Hegel, Manja Lohse, Agnes Swadzba, Sven Wachsmuth, Katharina Rohlfing, Britta Wrede
Abstract – The paper introduces an online user study on applications for social robots with 127 participants. The potential users proposed 570 application scenarios based on the appearance and...
Designing a Sociable Humanoid Robot for Interdisciplinary Research (2008)
Matthias Hackel, Stefan Schwope, Jannik Fritsch, Britta Wrede, Gerhard Sagerer
This paper presents the humanoid robot BARTHOC and the smaller, but system equal twin BARTHOC Junior. Both robots have been developed to study human-robot interaction (HRI). The main focus of...

Influence of duration on static and dynamic properties of German vowels in spontaneous speech (2007)
Britta Wrede, Gernot A. Fink, Gerhard Sagerer
Changes in speech rate severely affect the performance of continuous speech recognition systems. In order to better understand the underlying effects of speech rate changes an analysis was carried...
An investigation of modelling aspects for rate-dependent speech recognition (2007)
Britta Wrede, Gernot A. Fink, Gerhard Sagerer
For the modelling of speech rate variation in speech recognition many approaches have been suggested. However, the training of speech-rate dependent models has by far received most of the attention....
A Multi-modal Dialog System for a Mobile Robot (2004)
Ioannis Toptsis Shuyin, Ioannis Toptsis, Shuyin Li, Britta Wrede, Gernot A. Fink
A challenging domain for dialog systems is their use for the communication with robotic assistants. In contrast to the classical use of spoken language for information retrieval, on a mobile robot...

This paper provides a progress report on ICSI’s Meeting Project, including both the data collected and annotated as part of the project, as well as the research lines such materials support. We...
Spotting hotspots in meetings: Human judgments and prosodic cues (2003)
Recent interest in the automatic processing of meetings is motivated by a desire to summarize, browse, and retrieve important information from lengthy archives of spoken data. One of the most useful...

Data-driven Pronunciation Modeling for ASR using Acoustic Subword Units (2003)
Thurid Spiess, Britta Wrede, Gernot A. Fink, Franz Kummert
We describe a method to model pronunciation variation for ASR in a data-driven way, namely by use of automatically derived acoustic subword units. The inventory of units is designed so as to produce...
Modelling the effects of speech rate variation for automatic speech recognition (2002)
In automatic speech recognition it is a widely observed phenomenon that variations in speech rate cause severe degradations of the speech recognition performance. This is due to the fact that...
