TLDR
Observations on listening behaviour research and one of the applications, the virtual diary companion, is introduced, which requires a more patient or relaxed attitude, waiting for the right moment to provide feedback to the human partner.Abstract:
Chatbots and embodied conversational agents show turn based conversation behaviour. In current research we almost always assume that each utterance of a human conversational partner should be followed by an intelligent and/or empathetic reaction of chatbot or embodied agent. They are assumed to be alert, trying to please the user. There are other applications which have not yet received much attention and which require a more patient or relaxed attitude, waiting for the right moment to provide feedback to the human partner. Being able and willing to listen is one of the conditions for being successful. In this paper we have some observations on listening behaviour research and introduce one of our applications, the virtual diary companion.read more

Writing About Emotional Experiences as a Therapeutic Process

A model of textual affect sensing using real-world knowledge
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates a new approach, using large-scale real-world knowledge about the inherent affective nature of everyday situations to classify sentences into "basic" emotion categories, and suggests that the approach is robust enough to enable plausible affective text user interfaces.
