Conversational interfaces: advances and challenges
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2000The past decade has witnessed the emergence of a new breed of human-computer interfaces that combines several human language technologies to enable humans to converse with computers using spoken dialogue for information access, creation and processing. In this paper, we introduce the nature of these conversational interfaces and describe the underlying

Conversational Interfaces for a Smart Campus
Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, 2020The spoken language is the most natural interface for a human being and, thanks to the scientific-technological advances made in recent decades, nowadays we have voice assistance devices to interact with a machine through the use of natural language. Vocal user interfaces (VUI) are now included in many technological devices, such as desktop and laptop ...

Conversational Narrative Interfaces for Sensemaking
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2019This PhD thesis aims at studying the generation of dialogues within the context of narratives based on the theory of inferential pragmatics. When referring to inferential pragmatics, we consider the non-semantic elements of the meaning of statements that can be inferred from its implications. Our goal is to generate dialogue statements based on a model

Affective Conversational Interfaces
2016In order to build artificial conversational interfaces that display behaviors that are credible and expressive, we should endow them with the capability to recognize, adapt to, and render emotion. In this chapter, we explain how the recognition of emotional aspects is managed within conversational interfaces, including modeling and representation ...
