Abstract

We describe a Wizard-of-Oz experiment setup for the collection of multimodal interaction data for a Music Player application. This setup was developed and used to collect experimental data as part of a project aimed at building a flexible multimodal dialogue system which provides an interface to an MP3 player, combining speech and screen input and output. Besides the usual goal of WOZ data collection to get realistic examples of the behavior and expectations of the users, an equally important goal for us was to observe natural behavior of multiple wizards in order to guide our system development. The wizards' responses were therefore not constrained by a script. One of the challenges we had to address was to allow the wizards to produce varied screen output a in real time. Our setup includes a preliminary screen output planning module, which prepares several versions of possible screen output. The wizards were free to speak, and/or to select a screen output.
