Dialogue Modeling in Embodied Communicational Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
We are developing an ECA (Embodied Communicational Agent) system in Hungarian language. The ECA has to be able to carry out general chat conversations and domain specific discussions as well. The structure of the dialogue graph and the attributes of the graph nodes have to support the success of the conversation: user utterance understanding and responding, as well as repairing the “non-understanding” situations. In the following sections we are briefly depicting the system and describe its dialogue knowledge base focusing on the different user interfaces we developed for its testing and building.

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملSocial Dialogue with Embodied Conversational Agents
The functions of social dialogue between people in the context of performing a task is discussed, as well as approaches to modelling such dialogue in embodied conversational agents. A study of an agent’s use of social dialogue is presented, comparing embodied interactions with similar interactions conducted over the phone, assessing the impact these media have on a wide range of behavioural, ta...
متن کاملA Methodology to Design Human-Like Embodied Conversational Agents based on Dialogue Analysis
This paper presents a bottom-up methodology to study human-human and human-agent dialogues in order to improve the design of embodied conversational agents (ECAs). The methodology uses a matrix representation of dialogues, constructed by means of a (semi-)automatic annotation process. A multidimensional dialogue pattern extraction and a clustering algorithm are applied to the coding matrices. T...

متن کاملAgent communication pragmatics: the cognitive coherence approach
Different approaches have investigated the syntax and semantic of agent communication languages. However, these approaches have not indicated how agents should dynamically use communications. Instead of filling this pragmatics gap, most approaches have mainly focused on the “structure” of dialogues even though developers are more interested in agents’ capabilities of having “useful” automated c...
