Preface
When humans engage in spoken interaction, they assess the obvious features of the interaction partner, such as the verbal and nonverbal signals of the voice, as these contribute to the subjective evaluation of the interlocutor. In this book, the background, state of research, and own contributions to the assessment and prediction of talker quality that is constituted in voice perception and in dialog are presented. Starting from theories and empirical findings from human interaction, major results and approaches are transferred to the domain of human-computer interaction. The main subject of this book is to contribute to the evaluation of spoken in
