Entrainment is the phenomenon of the speech of conversational partners becoming more similar to each other. This thesis proposal presents a comprehensive look at entrainment in human conversations and how entrainment may be incorporated into the design of spo- ken dialogue systems in order to improve sys- tem performance and user satisfaction. We compare different kinds of entrainment in both classic and novel dimensions, provide exper- imental results on the utility of entrainment, and show that entrainment can be used to im- prove a system?s ASR performance and turn- taking decisions.
