چکیده
This paper describes an animated conversational agent called Kare1 which integrates a talking head interface with a linguistically motivated human-machine dialogue system. The agent has a range of nonverbal behaviors, which involve a mixture of machine vision, computer animation and natural language processing techniques. The system’s architecture couples the agent’s nonverbal communicative processes very tightly to its model of verbal interaction. We discuss several consequences of this architecture, in particular the ability to use different non-verbal dialogue management signals when speaking different lan-

متن کامل"Artificial humans": Psychology and neuroscience perspectives on embodiment and nonverbal communication
"Artificial humans", so-called "Embodied Conversational Agents" and humanoid robots, are assumed to facilitate human-technology interaction referring to the unique human capacities of interpersonal communication and social information processing. While early research and development in artificial intelligence (AI) focused on processing and production of natural language, the "new AI" has also t...
متن کاملImprovements on a simple muscle-based 3D face for realistic facial expressions - Computer Animation and Social Agents, 2003. 16th International Conference on
Facial expressions play an important role in face-to-face communication. With the development of personal computers capable of rendering high quality graphics, computer facial animation has produced more and more realistic facial expressions to enrich human-computer communication. In this paper, we present a simple muscle-based 3D face model that can produce realistic facial expressions in real...
متن کاملHumor and Embodied Conversational Agents
This report surveys the role of humor in human-to-human interaction and the possible role of humor in human-computer interaction. The aim is to see whether it is useful for embodied conversational agents to integrate humor capabilities in their internal model of intelligence, emotions and interaction (verbal and nonverbal) capabilities. A current state of the art of research in embodied convers...
متن کاملLet's talk! Socially intelligent agents for language conversation training
This paper promotes socially intelligent animated agents for the pedagogical task of English conversation training for native speakers of Japanese. Since student-agent conversations are realized as role-playing interactions, strong requirements are imposed on the agents’ affective and social abilities. As a novel feature, social role awareness is introduced to animated conversational agents, th...
