Abstract Conversational recommender systems aim to interactively support online users in their information search and decision-making processes an intuitive way. With the latest advances voice-controlled devices, natural language processing, AI general, such received increased attention recent years. Technically, conversational recommenders are usually complex multi-component applications often...

Semantic role labeling (SRL) aims to extract the arguments for each predicate in an input sentence. Traditional SRL can fail analyze dialogues because it only works on every single sentence, while ellipsis and anaphora frequently occur dialogues. To address this problem, we propose conversational task, where argument be dialogue participants, a phrase history or current As existing datasets are...

Zusammenfassung Der folgende Beitrag zeigt auf, wie bestehende Disziplinen und Methoden aus den Bereichen der Psychologie Wirtschaftsinformatik miteinander kombiniert erweitert werden, damit Conversational Bots, auch als Chat- oder Voicebots bekannt, nicht nur natürliche Sprache verstehen verarbeiten können, sondern personalisiert auf die Useranfragen eingehen können. Dies alles mit dem Ziel, m...

As synthetic voices become more flexible, and conversational systems gain more potential to adapt to the environmental and social situation, the question needs to be examined, how different modifications to the synthetic speech interact with each other and how their specific combinations influence perception. This work investigates how the vocal effort of the synthetic speech together with adde...

The next step is to realize knowledgeable communities on the ubiquitous network. Social Intelligence Design is a field of research on harmonizing people and artifacts by focusing on social intelligence, defined as the ability of actors and agents to learn and to solve problems...

The paper addresses the question of rhythmic structuring of conversational interaction. Conversational speech requires active cooperation and coordination of the behavior of two or more speakers. Previous research indicates that one of the mechanisms used by speakers to regulate conversational interaction, is close monitoring and adaptation to rhythmic patterns. When this does not function prop...

Conversational AI systems are becoming famous in day to day lives. In this paper, we are trying to address the following key question: To identify whether design, as well as development efforts for search oriented conversational AI are successful or not. It is tricky to de€ne ’success’ in the case of conversational AI and equally tricky part is to use appropriate metrics for the evaluation of c...
