Reconstructing chat history for avatar agents using spatio-temporal features of virtual space
Pages 257 - 258
Abstract
One of the crucial issues in Internet chat is how to manage the corresponding pairs of questions and answers in a sequence of conversations. This paper addresses the problems of ambiguous dialogue logs, lack of a social interaction network of chat agents, and the rupture of the turn sequence in the plain chat room. Therefore we can resolve the ambiguity in rupturing connections between turns and replies. Also, our system supports a graphical visualization interface for tracking the chat dialogue using Chat Flow Graph(CFG)[Park et al. 2008a]. In this paper, we improve our previous work and construct a social network between avatar agents. Our experiment shows that our system is highly effective in a virtual chat environment.

A new cognition-based chat system for avatar agents in virtual space
VRCAI '08: Proceedings of The 7th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and Its Applications in IndustryShort internet-based chat is typical of modern communication, especially for on-line game players. Improved chat tools are available to avatar agents in virtual space (e.g., Second Life) thanks to the fast-evolving 3D internet. The most common plain ...
