Automatically Generating Conversational Behaviors in Animated Agents
Justine Cassell, Catherine Pélachaud, Norman I. Badler, Mark J. Steedman · 1994
In the creation of synthetic computer characters, the creators shouldn't have to create or control every move of their life like human agents: for example, during the progress of a search or planning system, responding to knowledge based queries, or portraying autonomous agents during real-time virtual environment simulations. For these automated characters we must generate behavior on the basis of rules abstracted from the study of human behavior.
