ABSTRACT
We have been exploring a system that constructs a hybrid semi-artificial life that fuses a biological neuronal network and a hardware information processing device, and expresses the phenomena that occur there as "intelligent behavior". In this study, we implemented a broken dialogue agent that is a wetware-hardware hybrid that has a sound input/output interface that connects the biological neural network to the outside world, in order to reflect the "fluctuation" unique to living organisms in the system. The agent extracts words contained in the voice input, evaluates the impression of the dialogue based on the "emotional polarity dictionary", and applies electrical stimulation to the cultured living neuronal network according to the evaluation result. The induced neuronal electrical activity pattern was defined as the "internal state" of the agent, and this determined the emotional polarity value of the agent itself at that time. The agent selects words that are compatible with the emotional polarity of agent extracting from co-occurring words and outputs them in "broken sentences". On the human side, we aimed to establish a conversation by complementing and understanding the meaning from this broken word sequence.
