Aspects of Information State for Dialogue with Virtual Humans.	Wednesday, 05/09/07 16:00 - 18:00
Prof. Dr. David Traum Aspects of Information State for Dialogue with Virtual Humans. This talk will look in-depth at some aspects of the dialogue manager for a set of Virtual Humans at the Institute for Creative Technologies. Virtual Humans are AI agents with humanoid bodies in a virtual reality setting, who interact with people and a virtual world. These agents are used primarily in training prototypes, where they must play the role of a character in a scenario. We will go over the approach to organizing information state, the broad processing algorithms, and focus in detail on several aspects, including turn-taking, grounding, social obligations management, and negotiation."
