Communicative Virtual Agent Learning by Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe the implementation of interactive agents capable of gathering and extending their knowledge. Interactive agents are designed to perform tasks requested by a user in natural language. Using simple sentences the agent can answer questions and in case a task can not be fulfilled the agent must communicate with the user. In particular, an interactive agent can tell when necessary information for a task is missing, giving the user a chance to supply this information, which may in effect result in teaching the agent. The interactive agent platform is implemented in DLP, a tool for the implementation of 3D web agents. In this paper we discuss the motivation for interactive agents, the learning mechanisms and it’s realization in the DLP platform.

SCoViA: Effectiveness of spatial communicative virtual agent based on motion parallax
We propose a spacial communication method between a user and a virtual agent that provide an illusion as if it has a physical presence. In this system, real-time 3DCG agent has been drawn with changing a viewpoint in a virtual space corresponding to the user’s viewpoint detected by face-tracking. The face-tracking can perform this interaction as same as a robot in the real world. We conducted a...

متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملEvaluating Social Attitudes of a Virtual Tutor
In this paper we evaluate a model of social decision-making for virtual agents. The model computes the social attitude of a virtual agent given its social role during the interaction and its social relation toward the interactant. The resulting attitude influences the agent’s social goals and therefore determines the decisions made by the agent in terms of actions and communicative intentions t...
