ABSTRACT
In this poster, we present Flow Human, a no-code system that generates conversational behavior of digital humans from the text. Our users only need to build a conversation flow they want to talk to customers using the flow-based authoring tool we developed. Our system then automatically generates the verbal and non-verbal behavior of digital humans along the conversation flow, interacts with customers, and collects feedback. We believe that this work can serve the potential to be distributed to various services that have not been introduced because of the challenging task of controlling multiple factors in digital humans (e.g., conversation flow, co-speech gestures, and facial animation).

Building Digital Human
MM '20: Proceedings of the 28th ACM International Conference on MultimediaDigital humans find their applications in areas such as virtual companion, virtual reporter, and virtual narrator. As the global trend of digitalization continues, the value of digital humans continues to increase. For example, a virtual teacher may ...
Changes in verbal and nonverbal conversational behavior in long-term interaction
ICMI '12: Proceedings of the 14th ACM international conference on Multimodal interactionWe present an empirical investigation of conversational behavior in dyadic interaction spanning multiple conversations, in the context of a developing interpersonal relationship between a health counselor and her clients. Using a longitudinal video ...
Towards a Conversational Corpus for Human-Robot Conversations
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionConversational corpora based on human-human dialogues have often been used for training of data-driven dialogue systems. However, human-human conversations might not be the optimal inputs for machine learning training aims used in HRI. This paper ...
