Synthesizing multimodal utterances for conversational agents
Conversational agents are supposed to combine speech with non-verbal modalities for intelligible multimodal utterances. In this paper, we focus on the generation of gesture and speech fromXML-based descriptions of their overt form. An incremental production model is presented that combines the synthesis of synchronized gestural, verbal, and facial behaviors with mechanisms for linking them in f...
متن کاملIncremental Multimodal Feedback for Conversational Agents
Just like humans, conversational computer systems should not listen silently to their input and then respond. Instead, they should enforce the speaker-listener link by attending actively and giving feedback on an utterance while perceiving it. Most existing systems produce direct feedback responses to decisive (e.g. prosodic) cues. We present a framework that conceives of feedback as a more com...
متن کاملMultimodal Backchannels for Embodied Conversational Agents
One of the most desirable characteristics of an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) is the capability of interacting with users in a human-like manner. While listening to a user, an ECA should be able to provide backchannel signals through visual and acoustic modalities. In this work we propose an improvement of our previous system to generate multimodal backchannel signals on visual and acoust...
متن کاملMultimodal Backchannel Generation for Conversational Agents
Listeners in face-to-face interactions are not only attending to the communicative signals being emitted by the speakers, but are sending out signals themselves in the various modalities that are available to them: facial expressions, gestures, head movements and speech. These communicative signals, operating in the so-called back-channel, mostly function as feedback on the actions of the speak...
متن کاملExpressive Multimodal Conversational Acts for SAIBA Agents
We discuss here the need to define what we call an agent conversational language, a language for Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) to have conversations with a human. We propose a set of Expressive Multimodal Conversation Acts (EMCA), which is based on the Expressive Speech Acts that we introduced in a previous work, enriched with the multimodal expression of the emotions linked to these act...
