Implementing acoustic-prosodic entrainment in a conversational avatar

Entrainment, aka accommodation or alignment, is the phenomenon by which conversational partners become more similar to each other in behavior. While there has been much work on some behaviors there has been little on entrainment in speech and even less on how Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDS) which entr...
