Expressive multimodal conversational acts for SAIBA agents
IVA'11: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Intelligent virtual agents

We discuss here the need to define what we call an agent conversational language, a language for Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) to have conversations with a human. We propose a set of Expressive Multimodal Conversation Acts (EMCA), which is based ...
Embodied conversational agents in Wizard-of-Oz and multimodal interaction applications
COST 2102'07: Proceedings of the 2007 COST action 2102 international conference on Verbal and nonverbal communication behaviours

Embodied conversational agents employed in multimodal interaction applications have the potential to achieve similar properties as humans in faceto-face conversation. They enable the inclusion of verbal and nonverbal communication. Thus, the degree of ...
Multi-Modal Repairs of Conversational Breakdowns in Task-Oriented Dialogs
UIST '20: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

A major problem in task-oriented conversational agents is the lack of support for the repair of conversational breakdowns. Prior studies have shown that current repair strategies for these kinds of errors are often ineffective due to: (1) the lack of ...
