We propose simple and flexible training and decoding methods for influencing output style and topic in neural encoderdecoder based language generation. This capability is desirable in a variety of applications, including conversational systems, where successful agents need to produce language in a specific style and generate responses steered by a human puppeteer or external knowledge. We decom...

BACKGROUND A mood-related ruminative response style increases the risk of onset and persistence of depression. This preliminary study investigated whether, in depressed adolescents, cognitive-behaviour therapy reduces mood-related ruminative response style. Whether specific factors within the rumination scale were differentially affected by CBT is also reported. METHODS 26 depressed adolescen...

Human interactions and human-computer interactions are strongly influenced by style as well as content. Adding a persona to a chatbot makes it more human-like and contributes to a better and more engaging user experience. In this work, we propose a design for a chatbot that captures the style of Star Trek by incorporating references from the show along with peculiar tones of the fictional chara...

Considerable evidence exists to support an association between psychological states and immune function. However, the mechanisms by which such states are instantiated in the brain and influence the immune system are poorly understood. The present study investigated relations among physiological measures of affective style, psychological well being, and immune function. Negative and positive aff...

background and purpose: presently, the method of medical teaching has shifted from lecture-based to computer-based. the learning style may play a key role in the attitude toward learning computer. the goal of this study was to study the relationship between the learning style and attitude toward computer among iranian medical students. methods: this cross-sectional study included 400 medical st...

The ability of dialogue systems to express pre-specified style during conversations has a direct, positive impact on their usability and user satisfaction. While it attracted much research interest, existing methods often generate stylistic responses at the cost content quality. In this work, we introduce prototype-to-style (PS) framework tackle challenge generation. proposed first exploits an ...
