D4 Seminar : Socio-conversational AI: Modelling the socio-emotional component of interactions using neural models

17 November 2023 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

Speaker: Chloé Clavel (Centre Inria de Paris, équipe-projet ALMAnaCH)

Abstract:
A single lack of social tact on the part of a conversational system (chatbot, voice assistant, social robot) can cause the user’s trust and engagement with the interaction to drop. This lack of social intelligence affects the willingness of a large audience to view conversational systems as acceptable. To understand the state of the user, the current affective/social computing research community has drawn on research in artificial intelligence and the social sciences. However, in recent years, the trend has shifted towards a monopoly of deep learning methods, which are quite powerful but opaque and greedy for annotated data and less suitable for integrating social science knowledge. I will present here the research we are doing  to develop Machine/Deep Learning models for modeling the social component of interactions. In particular, I will focus on research aimed at improving the explainability of the models as well as their transferability to new data and new socio-emotional phenomena.
