Download a one sheet PDF overview of this project.
The purpose of the Natural Language Processing and Dialogue Management project is to advance the state of research in natural language processing, specifically for virtual humans. We have several focus areas including:
- techniques and architectures for dialogue systems in different domains and genres
- development of better components for dialogue management and natural language understanding and generation
- interaction between language processing and other aspects of virtual humans, including emotion, cognition, visual perception, speech recognition and non-verbal behavior generation
- corpus development (including human-human, wizard of oz, and human system dialogues), including data collection, transcription, and annotation
- dialogue evaluation
- culture and activity specific aspects of dialogue
- multi-modal and multiparty dialogue
- non-cooperative dialogue
Tags: dialogue, emotion, language, natural, recognition, speech, verbal, virtual
