Abstract(in English) A mathematical model for predicting the user satisfaction of a speech dialogue systems is studied based on a field trial of a voice-navigated music retrieval system. The Subjective Word Accuracy (subjective-WA), of the user is introduced as a background psychometrics for the satisfaction. In the field test, subjective-WA is collected through questionnaires together with satisfactory indexes and various user profiles. First we show that the subjective-WA is more significant to the user satisfactory than (Objective) Word Accuracy (objective-WA), which is calculated using the manually given transcriptions for the recorded dialogue. Then through top-down clustering of the joint distribution of subjective- and objective-WAs, we show that the user population can be grouped into several sub-groups in terms of sensitivity to recognition accuracy. The lower bound of the objective-WA for the given subjective-WA is also calculated from the joint distribution. Finally, a graphical model is build that predicts the user satisfactory index from user profiles and reduces the distribution uncertainty of user satisfaction by 13% of its variance.
