Improvising Linguistic Style: Social and Aaective Bases for Agent Personality

چکیده
This paper introduces Linguistic Style Improvisation, a theory and set of algorithms for improvisation of spoken utterances by artiicial agents, with applications to interactive story and dialogue systems. We argue that linguistic style is a key aspect of character, and show how speech act representations common in AI can provide abstract representations from which computer characters can improvise. We show that the mechanisms proposed introduce the possibility of socially oriented agents, meet the requirements that lifelike characters be believable, and satisfy particular criteria for improvisation proposed by Hayes-Roth.

Conversation is an essential component of social behavior, one of the primary means by which humans express intentions, beliefs, emotions, attitudes and personality. Thus a key technical capability for dialogue-based conversational agents for interactive entertainment, therapeutic, or learning applications is the ability to support natural conversational interaction. To do so, natural language ...
متن کاملMimicry Is Presidential: Linguistic Style Matching in Presidential Debates and Improved Polling Numbers
The current research used the contexts of U.S. presidential debates and negotiations to examine whether matching the linguistic style of an opponent in a two-party exchange affects the reactions of third-party observers. Building off communication accommodation theory (CAT), interaction alignment theory (IAT), and processing fluency, we propose that language style matching (LSM) will improve su...
متن کاملEndowing Virtual Characters with Expressive Conversational Skills
When humans interact with one another, socially intelligent conversational behaviors arise from the interaction of a number of different factors: the conversants’ personality, cultural knowledge, the ability to observe and reason about social relationships, and the ability to project and detect affective cues. For virtual agents to be socially intelligent, they must have an expressive conversat...
