Online Evaluation of Response Obligation Estimation on the HALOGEN Multimodal Interaction Framework

This report describes our ongoing attempt to evaluate the previously proposed method of response obligation estimation [1] in a realtime human-robot interaction with a fully automated conversational robot system based on HALOGEN, which is an infrastructural distributed framework for a multimodal multiparty dialogue system. HALOGEN has a two-stage information fusion strategy and it potentially has merits to implement multiparty human-robot interactions. We discuss interaction-oriented compensatory mechanisms for failures in response obligation estimation.
