Mining human interactions to construct a virtual guide for a virtual fair

Ponencia presentada en la 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics. Workshop on Dialogue in Motion. Gotemburgo, Suecia, 26 de abril de 2014.In this paper we describe how we mine interactions between a human guide and a human visitor to build a virtual guide. A virtual guide is an agent capable of fulfilling the role of a human guide. Its goal is to guide visitors to each booth of a virtual fair and to provide information about the company or organization through interactive objects located at the fair. The guide decides what to say, using a graph search algorithm, and decides how to say using generation by selection based on contextual features. The guide decides where to speak at the virtual fair by creating clusters using a data classification algorithm to learn in what positions the human guide decided to talk.Fil: Luna, Andrés Ignacio.
