A Comprehensive Context Model for Multi-party Interactions with Virtual Characters

چکیده
Contextual information plays a crucial role in nearly every conversational setting. When people engage in conversations they rely on what has previously been uttered or done in various ways. Some nonverbal actions are ambiguous when viewed on their own. However, when viewed in their context of use their meaning is obvious. Autonomous virtual characters that perceive and react to events in conversations just like humans do also need a comprehensive representation of this contextual information. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a comprehensive context model for virtual characters.

Modelling Multi-Party Interactions among Virtual Characters, Robots, and Humans
3D virtual humans and physical human-like robots can be used to interact with people in a remote location in order to increase the feeling of presence. In a telepresence setup, their behaviors are driven by real participants. We envision that in the absence of the real users, when they have to leave or they do not want to do a repetitive task, the control of the robots can be handed to an artif...

متن کاملMulti-party Conversation for Mixed Reality
31 Abstract—The interactive scenarios realized in the two prototypes of Virtual Human require an approach that allows humans and virtual characters to interact naturally and flexibly. In this article we present how the autonomous control of the virtual characters and the interpretation of user interactions is realized in the Conversational Dialogue Engine (CDE) framework. For each virtual and r...
متن کاملIdeas on Multi-layer Dialogue Management for Multi-party, Multi-conversation, Multi-modal Communication
Most current dialogue systems concern only a short dialogue between a single system and single user, focused on a single task. On the other hand, the full spectrum of communication between interacting agents includes cases in which multiple segments of conversation can be interleaved with other, sometimes unrelated actions and events (e.g., a cocktail party). Language use in the Mission Rehears...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Security and Protection of Big Data
The issue of online privacy and security is a challenging subject, as it concerns the privacy of data that are increasingly more accessible via the internet. In other words, people who intend to access the private information of other users can do so more efficiently over the internet. This study is an attempt to address the privacy issue of distributed big data in the context of cloud computin...
