Alquist 5.0: Dialogue Trees Meet Generative Models. A Novel Approach for Enhancing SocialBot Conversations

We present our SocialBot -- Alquist~5.0 -- developed for the Alexa Prize SocialBot Grand Challenge~5. Building upon previous versions of our system, we introduce the NRG Barista and outline several innovative approaches for integrating Barista into our SocialBot, improving the overall conversational experience. Additionally, we extend our SocialBot to support multimodal devices. This paper offers insights into the development of Alquist~5.0, which meets evolving user expectations while maintaining empathetic and knowledgeable conversational abilities across diverse topics

Equality, Equity and Incentives: An Experiment

We devise a new experimental game by nesting a voluntary contributions mechanism in a broader spectrum of incentive schemes. With it, we study tensions between egalitarianism, equity concerns, self-interest, and the need for incentives. In a 2x2 design, subjects either vote on or exogenously encounter incentive settings while assigned unequal incomes that are either task-determined or random. We find subjects’ voting to be mainly self-interested but also influenced by egalitarian and equity concerns, which sometimes cut in opposite directions. Contributions, which seem mainly determined by boundedly rational responses to incentives, are influenced by egalitarian, equity and strategic considerations.equality, efficiency, voluntary contribution mechanism, incentives, experiment
