Entrainment, the phenomenon of conversational partners’ behaving more like each other in various ways, is an important feature for analyzing conversations. 它在人与人之间的交流中很常见,与高质量的对话有关。 因为越来越多的重要对话发生在人类和虚拟对话代理之间,所以这样一个代理能够与使用它的人保持中欧体育,增加他们之间的融洽关系是很有用的。 然而,关于夹带还有很多不为人知的地方,比如是什么导致了夹带,为什么人们会以不同的方式夹带。 这个CAREER项目的目标是学习更多关于娱乐的知识,以改善人机交流,更好地理解人与人之间的交流。 This grant will support Professor Levitan’s entrainment research for the next five years and fund the collection of a new corpus of task-oriented speech to enable the analysis of important questions about entrainment. The project also includes a collaboration with 布鲁克林学院’s Linguistics Program to promote the participation of linguistics students in computer science.
