Abstract: This chapter describes the English-language SmartKom-Mobile system and related research. We explain the work required to support a second language in SmartKom and the design of the English speech recognizer. We then discuss research carried out on signal processing methods for robust speech recognition and on language analysis using the Embodied Construction Grammar formalism. Finally, the results of human-subject experiments using a novel Wizard and Operator model are analyzed with an eye to creating more felicitous interaction in dialogue systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
