Abstract

The dissertation project FamCHAI aims at creating a ‘calendar companion’ system in the form of a bidirectionally natural-language interactive scene with a virtual agent, and exploring the effects of adaptation of the agent to specific users both in terms of the support given (i.e. giving options the user likes) and in communication (i.e. presentation in a form the user prefers, and learning their idiosyncrasies for better understanding). Harnessing these models, interactions will grow steadily more effective, comfortable and natural for users.
