From Modeling Multimodal and Multiparty Interactions to Designing Conversational Agents

Conversational agents are expected to allow natural human-computer interaction by mimicking human communication behaviors. The users would expend less effort in using such computer systems. To build such systems, computational models of human communication are indispensable. However, such models have not yet been fully established. Therefore, analyzing and modeling human communication as the basis for designing agents are essential. In this talk, I will review previous studies from corpus analysis to system implementation, and discuss how these multiple research phases should be accomplished in a consistent way, and also why they should work closely together in creating new conversational humanoids that lead to a new relationship between humans and computers.
