Web-ECA: A Web-based ECA Platform
Proceedings of the 2021 International Conference on Multimodal Interaction, 2021Running an embodied conversation agent (ECA) on a client–server model has the following advantages: 1) the experimenter need not bring a computer with installing the ECA to the experimental site, 2) the user need not own a high-performance computer, 3) it is easy to make changes to the ECA for system maintenance and operation, and 4) data collection ...

An ECA expressing appreciations
2015 International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII), 2015In this paper, we propose a computational model that provides an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) with the ability to generate verbal other-repetition (repetitions of some of the words uttered in the previous user speaker turn) when interacting with a user in a museum setting.

Molecular Biology Reports, 2002
Although metabolic control analysis (MCA) cannot be applied directly to microbial ecological systems because of mass conservation and stoichiometric constraints, we demonstrate here that Hierarchical Control Analysis (HCA) can be applied to such systems. We illustrate the approach for a particular ecosystem example of the biological synthesis of acetic

Proceedings of the second international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2003
We aim at creating Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) able to communicate multimodally with a user or with other ECAs. In this paper we focus on the Gestural Mind Markers, that is, those gestures that convey information on the Speaker’s Mind; we present the ANVIL-SCORE, a tool to analyze and classify multimodal data that is a semantically augmented ...

ECAs and Users of the ECA Cover
2014The development of export credit agencies (ECAs) has followed development of world trade, globalisation of economies and the international regulation of officially supported export credits. Today, ECAs provide the ECA cover in a similar way, but there are still differences in their status and organisation.

Expressions of Empathy in ECAs
2008Recent research has shown that empathic virtual agents enable to improve human-machine interaction. Virtual agent's expressions of empathy are generally fixed intuitively and are not evaluated. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the expressions of empathy using complex facial expressions like superposition and masking.

The Environment and Childhood Asthma (ECA) Study in Oslo: ECA‐1 and ECA‐2
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2002An observed increase in asthma admissions in Oslo during the 1980s prompted a prospective birth cohort study to ask the following question: was air pollution (outdoor and indoor) (in a broad sense) associated with asthma development in young children? During 12 months from 1 January 1992, 3,754 children (birth weight ≥2000 g) in Oslo were enrolled at ...

Facial Deception in Humans and ECAs
2008Deception is a relevant issue for the theories of cognition and social interaction. When we deceive, we influence others through manipulating their beliefs. This paper presents a definition of deception and of its functions in terms of a model of cognition and social action.

An Exploratory Analysis of ECA Characteristics
2014To help guide design and development of embodied conversational agents, this study reviews the evolving qualities of naturalistic agents by identifying and tracking their most relevant features. The study extends prior taxonomies of characteristics of ECAs, developing a rubric that distinguishes agents’ visual and functional characteristics.
