S.A.R.A. Seeks To Give Artificial Intelligence People Skills
The S.A.R.A. project consists of three elements never before used, says Cassell: conversational strategy classifiers, a rapport estimator, and a social reasoner. "The conversational strategy classifiers are five separate recognizers that can classify any one of five conversational strategies with over 80 percent accuracy." Simultaneously, S.A.R.A.'s rapport estimator gives the virtual assistant a readout of how well you and her are getting along. "That one uses a kind of A.I. algorithm that's brand new called a temporal association rule." The algorithm works in real time, calculating in the moment.
