NPCEditor: Creating Virtual Human Dialogue Using Information Retrieval Techniques
Leuski, Anton (Institute for Creative Technologies) | Traum, David (Institute for Creative Technologies)
See Leuski et al. (2006) and to the same question -- for example, "What Leuski and Traum (2008) for more details. is your name?" -- depending on who the interactor The final parameter is the classification threshold is looking at. NPCEditor's user interface allows the on the KL-divergence value: only answers that designer to define arbitrary annotation classes or score above the threshold value are returned from categories and specify which of these annotation the classifier. The threshold is determined by tuning categories should be used in classification.
Practical Language Processing for Virtual Humans
Leuski, Anton (Institute for Creative Technologies) | Traum, David (Institute for Creative Technologies)
NPCEditor is a system for building a natural language processing component for virtual humans capable of engaging a user in spoken dialog on a limited domain. It uses a statistical language classification technology for mapping from user's text input to system responses. NPCEditor provides a user-friendly editor for creating effective virtual humans quickly. It has been deployed as a part of various virtual human systems in several applications.
