چکیده

We report on the first evaluation of the Companions project prototypes. We give preliminary results from our phase one evaluation, using known and well-understood dialogue metrics. We also give a first indication of the directions we plan to take to evaluate increasingly sophisticated conversational systems, using measures of coherence and appropriateness. 12

Evaluating Human-Machine Conversation for Appropriateness

Evaluation of complex, collaborative dialogue systems is a difficult task. Traditionally, developers have relied upon subjective feedback from the user, and parametrisation over observable metrics. However, both models place some reliance on the notion of a task; that is, the system is helping to user achieve some clearly defined goal, such as book a flight or complete a banking transaction. It...

A Framework for Simulating and Evaluating Artificial Chatter Bot Conversations

Chatter bots are computer programs that can simulate a conversation through text chat. Current chatter bots perform well in artificial conversations consisting of pairs of utterance exchanges like a questionanswer session where the context switches with every pair. But they perform poorly in longer conversations where the context is maintained across several utterance exchanges. Existing approa...

Interaction Profiles for an Artificial Conversational Companion

Using Artificial Companions for tasks requiring long-term interaction like language learning or coaching can be approached by creating local computational models for particular interaction structures, and models reflecting changes in interaction over time. An Artificial Conversational Companion (ACC) that helps to practice conversation in a foreign language is expected to play the role of a lan...
