Turn Taking with Sparrow
Sparrow-0: Real-Time Semantic Turn-Taking
Sparrow-0 is an advanced real-time semantic and lexical turn-taking system designed to enhance conversational flow between users and digital replicas. By continuously analyzing dialogue in real time, Sparrow-0 ensures natural, responsive, and fluid interactions.
Sparrow-0 only adds 10ms of latency, enabling CVI to achieve rapid response times as fast as 600ms precisely when required.
Key Features
Conversational Awareness
Conversational Awareness
Sparrow-0 intelligently evaluates the ongoing conversation, considering both user and replica speech to accurately detect optimal moments for response, making interactions feel natural and fluid.
Turn Sensitivity and Control
Turn Sensitivity and Control
The system autonomously adjusts turn-taking timing based on conversational cues such as pauses, interruptions, and smooth transitions. It also offers adjustable sensitivity settings for personalized conversational pacing.
Heuristics and Machine Learning
