Integración de los Sistemas de Diálogo para la Interacción en Redes Sociales

With the development of so-called Web 2.0 and the great interest and extension that social networks have now reached, a large number of applications that originate new forms of communication and interaction among users have been quickly introduced. Furthermore, research in the field of dialogue systems currently have a number of challenges related to the introduction of new input and output modalities, as well as applications and methodologies that allow the personalization of these systems to the specific characteristics and preferences of each user. Social networks and, in particular virtual worlds, have thus a perfect setting to carry out these research objectives. In this paper we present a study about the integration of dialog systems with social networks, describing the use of a dialogue system that provides academic information to develop a conversational bot in the Second Life virtual world.
