Taxonomy of Embodied Conversational Agents
This workshop call demonstrates that our field is eager to move beyond first-generation generalist projects, toward a more mature
practice. To do so, we seek to set up a common set of expectations and criteria for how to judge our work. In this paper,
we propose some subclasses of embodied conversational character research and design, with criteria for describing and evaluating
research and design advances in each. We suggest that researchers in this field could benefit from carefully identifying their own
areas of expertise and contribution, and then looking for ways to collaborate on standards and share advances within these subareas.
Presenting results, then, would require making clear the sub-areas addressed by the particular project, with evaluations appropriate to those areas included. We believe this approach can help the research community to clarify contributions, and more easily build a common base of knowledge.
