Towards AmI Systems Capable of Engaging in ‘Intelligent Dialog’ and ‘Mingling Socially with Humans’
Simon Elias Bibri · Atlantis ambient and pervasive intelligence · 2015
This chapter seeks to address computational intelligence in terms of conversational and dialog systems and computational processes and methods to support complex communicative tasks. In so doing, it explores human verbal and nonverbal communication behavior and sheds light on the recent attempts undertaken to investigate different aspects of human communication with the aim to replicate and implement them into ECAs. In HCI, ECAs represent multimodal user interfaces where modalities are the natural modalities of human conversation, namely speech, facial expressions and gestures, hand gestures, and body postures.
