Conversational Agents and Culture Training
This paper describes the design, implementation, and use of an agent architecture that has been deployed in Alelo, Inc.’s language and culture training systems, which offer practical training for foreign language skills and intercultural competence. These agents support real-time conversation in the language of interest (Dari, Pashto, Arabic, French, and others), using automatic speech recognition and immersive simulation technologies. In earlier work, we developed a number of agent-based language and culture trainers, based on the Tactical Language and Culture Training System platform. Our experience has revealed a number of desiderata for authorable, believable agents, which we have applied to the design of our newest agent architecture. In this chapter, we describe the Virtual Role-Players (VRP), an agent architecture that relies on ontological models of world knowledge, language, culture, and agent state, in order to achieve believable dialogue with learners. Authoring and user experiences are described, along with future directions for this work.

| I entirely understand your disappointment, Preben. Unfortunatelly, not all authors want to show their work freely :( Chatbots.org offers 2 methods of uploading a paper: 1) is to upload the entire Paper to our server, but fo course you must hold the copyright! or 2)it is possible to enter a Download URL (=>which in this case turned out to be a Purchase URL). Obviously those authors want to tease you to buy the whole book "Conversational Agents and Natural Language Interaction". After reading these first two pages - is it worth buying, according to you? Is it promising enough?  |
| Hi Preben, Just discovered you are working for Aritificial Solutions. Do you think commercial companies would be interested in a corporate contract giving them access to all academic libaries in the world? Chatbots.org might facilitate this... I'll copy you colleagues Andy in this thread. Something else: you've written papers yourself didn't you? If you upload them, you'll earn contribution points, and as you are now working for Artificial Solutions, your company will be ranked higher in the company listings. |
| Hi Erwin Yes, if it is not too expensive I think many companies that are involved an R&D and have employees with an academic background would benefit from something like that. It is essential to get an insight into other peoples work, and harder to do so in the private sector. How would that work - you think? |
| Well, I could negotiate with universities to get access to their libaries. That would be of added value. Chatbots.org might generate a license code every three months or so, with limited IP address usage. |
