商品描述

This book discusses the simulation of conversations through a novel approach of predicting speech quality based on the interactions of two simulated interlocutors. The author describes the setup of a simulation environment that is capable of simulating human dialogue on the speech level. The impact of delay and bursty packet loss on VoIP conversations is investigated and modeled for the use in the simulation. Based on parameters extracted from simulated conversations, the author proposes extensions to the E-model, a parametric model standardized by the International Telecommunications Union, in order to predict the quality of the simulated conversations. The author shows that predictions based on the simulated conversations outperform models that rely on the transmission parameters alone.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了透過一種新穎的方法來模擬對話，該方法基於兩個模擬對話者的互動來預測語音質量。作者描述了一個能夠在語音層面模擬人類對話的模擬環境的設置。書中研究並建模了延遲和突發性封包損失對VoIP對話的影響，以便在模擬中使用。根據從模擬對話中提取的參數，作者提出了對E-model的擴展，這是一個由國際電信聯盟標準化的參數模型，以預測模擬對話的質量。作者顯示，基於模擬對話的預測優於僅依賴傳輸參數的模型。

作者簡介

Thilo Michael received his B.Sc. in Applied Computer Science at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) while working at IBM Germany. He obtained his M.Sc. in Computer Science at the Technische Universität Berlin, which focused on natural language processing and spoken dialogue systems. From 2017 on, he was employed at the Quality and Usability Lab at TU Berlin, where he finished his PhD on the simulation of conversations. As an invited speaker he held presentations on the topics of incremental spoken dialogue and chatbots.
