"ATLAS - Analyse von Turn-taking in L2 Erwerb & Assessment" wird vom österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds gefördert! Das freut besonders Anke Lenzing, Katrin Schmiderer, Benjamin Kremmel & Kathrin Eberharter, die das Projekt gemeinsam eingereicht haben.
🗣️ Konkret wird untersucht, wie Englisch-Schüler:innen das "turn taking" erwerben, also den Sprecherwechsel in mündlichen Interaktionen.
📝Zudem wird die Bewertung der Schüler:innen je nach Flüssigkeit analysiert.
Sparrow-1 – Audio-native model for human-level turn-taking without ASR

Sparrow-1 is a specialized, multilingual audio model for real-time conversational flow and floor transfer. It predicts when a system should listen, wait, or speak, enabling response timing that mirrors human conversation rather than simply responding as fast as possible.
Noise cancellation improves turn-taking for AI Voice Agents

#HackerNews #NoiseCancellation #AI #VoiceAgents #TurnTaking #BackgroundVoice
Turn-Taking is a big challenge AI Voice Agents are rapidly evolving, powering critical use-cases such as customer support automation, virtual assistants, gaming, and remote collaboration platforms. For these voice-driven interactions to feel natural and practical, the underlying audio pipeline must be resilient to noise, responsive, and accurate—especially in real-time scenarios. In a typical deployment, audio […]
Chimpanzee #turntaking in #gestural and expressive 'conversations'
'Scientists who studied their chats in detail found that they took "fast-paced turns" when they exchanged information and also occasionally interrupted one another.
The revelation suggests "deep evolutionary similarities [with humans] in how face-to-face conversations are structured," said Prof Cat #Hobaiter
What do other neurodivergent people think about the way conversations work (and how you’d like them to work)?

I prefer conversations to work the way Pippa says they work with her neurodivergent friends, whereas my gf wants to be asked questions and feels insulted if I don’t ask 🤔
Like Pippa, we’re both AuDHDers, but we’re also neurodivergent in other ways (and different from each other)
This is my latest autiphany. Did everyone else know this? I do try to ask appropriate questions but I would prefer it if people just shared whatever they wanted to. This is why conversations with my fellow #neurospicy folk feels more comfortable. . #actuallyautistic #autismcontent #autisticgirls #autismoftiktok #neurospicywomen #autismtiktok #neurospicycrew #autisticconversations #neurodivergent #autiphany
