Our research group at Nagoya Institute of Technology is developing “MMDAgent” as a voice interaction toolkit. Using MMDAgent, system developers can create various speech dialogue contents. When developers create voice interaction contents, it is important to consider user needs. Therefore, an approach is necessary to elicit preference information of the user. In this paper, we propose a method to...
In recent years, because of internet technology and the promotion of open science, it has become possible to obtain information about research progress. Nevertheless, many steps must be taken to collect such information exhaustively. Even when one wants to know only a summary, one must expend much time and effort. For this study, we propose a system that collects information about each laboratory,...
A life log is a record of human life and behavior as digital data. In recent years, it has become possible to collect easily life logs by wearable devices. There is reflection of information as one of usage of these life logs. Among them, reflection by images is easy to understand. However, when recording for a long time by automatic photographing, the number of images becomes enormous, and it is...
Since 2011, we have developed and deployed a standalone Voice-Interactive Digital Signage System to provide useful university information to users at the Nagoya Institute of Technology. This system comprises MMDAgent, a software toolkit to realize voice interaction with 3-D character named "Mei". An important shortcoming is that this system's ability is limited because it lacks a network...
Recently, "Agent-Oriented Computing" has been attracting attention as an approach to designing a system with high response capabilities. To develop and operate an agent system effectively, an agent framework is used. An agent system developed on DASH[1], a kind of agent framework, requires us to install the agent framework as an operating infrastructure and to operate DASH to benefit from...
In recent years, with the rapid spread of SNS, communication via social networks has become very active. Twitter users transmit information by posting messages, called Tweets, of fewer than 140 characters. Using a feature called Follow, users can obtain information posted by follow user according to their own interests. When using Twitter, it is difficult for users to find appropriate users to follow...
