Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) There is something nearly magical about human-to-human interaction. When a conversation goes well it can be very pleasant indeed. We want to build systems that are satisfying to talk to, that will feel attentive, supportive and responsive to users. To do this we need to model 'real-time social skills'. Doing so requires a model of 'ephemeral emotions', such as confidence, confusion, pleasure, and dependency, as they surface and vanish moment by moment during the course of conversation. We have build systems which mimic the ability of a person to infer and respond to the other's ephemeral emotions (needs, intentions, and feelings) at the sub-second level, by paying attention to the cues which convey these emotions, including utterance timing, prosody, non-lexical utterances (uh-huh etc.), and gesture.
