商品描述
This book aims to explore and discuss theories and technologies for the development of socially competent and culture-aware embodied conversational agents for elderly care. To tackle the challenges in ageing societies, this book was written by experts who have a background in assistive technologies for elderly care, culture-aware computing, multimodal dialogue, social robotics and synthetic agents.
Chapter 1 presents a vision of an intelligent agent to illustrate the current challenges for the design and development of adaptive systems. Chapter 2 examines how notions of trust and empathy may be applied to human-robot interaction and how it can be used to create the next generation of emphatic agents, which address some of the pressing issues in multicultural ageing societies. Chapter 3 discusses multimodal machine learning as an approach to enable more effective and robust modelling technologies and to develop socially competent and culture-aware embodied conversational agents for elderly care. Chapter 4 explores the challenges associated with real-world field tests and deployments. Chapter 5 gives a short introduction to socio-cognitive language processing that describes the idea of coping with everyday language, irony, sarcasm, humor, paralinguistic information such as the physical and mental state and traits of the dialogue partner, and social aspects.
This book grew out of the Shonan Meeting seminar entitled "Multimodal Agents for Ageing and Multicultural Societies" held in 2018 in Japan. Researchers and practitioners will be helped to understand the emerging field and the identification of promising approaches from a variety of disciplines such as human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, modelling, and learning.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書旨在探討和討論社會能力和文化意識的具身對話代理人（embodied conversational agents）在老年照護中的理論和技術。為了應對老齡化社會的挑戰，本書由在老年照護輔助技術、文化意識計算、多模態對話、社會機器人和合成代理人等領域具有專業背景的專家撰寫。
第一章提出了一個智能代理人的願景，以說明設計和開發自適應系統的當前挑戰。第二章探討了信任和同理心的概念如何應用於人機互動，以及如何利用這些概念創造下一代同理心代理人，以解決多元文化老齡化社會中的一些緊迫問題。第三章討論了多模態機器學習作為一種方法，以實現更有效和穩健的建模技術，並開發社會能力和文化意識的具身對話代理人以用於老年照護。第四章探討了與現實世界現場測試和部署相關的挑戰。第五章簡要介紹了社會認知語言處理，描述了應對日常語言、諷刺、挖苦、幽默、語言外信息（如對話夥伴的身心狀態和特徵）以及社會方面的概念。
本書源於2018年在日本舉辦的「老年與多元文化社會的多模態代理人」的湘南會議研討會。研究人員和實踐者將能夠理解這一新興領域，並從人機互動、人工智慧、建模和學習等多個學科中識別出有前景的方法。
作者簡介
Wolfgang Minker received the diploma (M.Sc.) and Ph.D. degrees in engineering science from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Université Paris-Sud, France, in 1998. From 1993 until 2000, he was a Teaching Assistant with LIMSI-CNRS, Université Paris- Sud, France, and subsequently worked as a Senior Researcher with the Dialogue Systems Group of Daimler Chrysler Research and Technology, Ulm, Germany, from 2000 to 2003. Since 2003, he has been a Full Professor with Ulm University, Germany, and also became a Co-Director of the International Research Laboratory "Multimodal Biometric and Speech Systems", ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2017. The research at his group is focused on dialogue systems with special interests in spoken dialogue interaction in ambient intelligent environments, assistive, adaptive, and proactive spoken language dialogue interaction, dialogue modeling, and argumentative dialogue systems.
Koichiro Yoshino is a Team Leader at Guardian Robot Project (GRP) in Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), and a Visiting Associate Professor at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). He received his bachelor degree of arts from Keio University in 2009, master degree of informatics from Kyoto University in 2011, and Ph.D. in informatics from Kyoto University in 2014. He worked at Kyoto University as a postdoc, and NAIST as an assistant professor. He is working on areas of spoken and natural language processings, especially on robot dialogue systems. Dr. Koichiro Yoshino received several honors including the best paper award of IWSDS 2020, and the best paper award of the 1st NLP4ConvAI workshop. He is a member of IEEE, SIGDIAL, ACL, ANLP, IPSJ, RSJ, and JSAI.
