Transcript Welcome to JSAI 2005 Workshop on Conversational Informatics

Welcome to
JSAI 2005 Workshop on
Conversational Informatics
Organizers: Yasuyuki Sumi, Toyoaki Nishida
Why, Conversation
• Conversation as a medium for exchanging not
only well-structured knowledge but also tacit
knowledge (awareness, common sense, knowhow, nebulous ideas, atmosphere, etc.)
• Media processing, ubiquitous computing,
artificial intelligence technologies => a strong
infrastructure to record our daily conversations
and facilitate us to access these
Conversational informatics
Studies on human conversational
behaviors as well as
design/implementation of artifacts
based on the analysis of human
conversations
Conversational informatics
• Capturing and measurement of conversations
– sensor technologies for conversation recording
– non-verbal aspects of conversations
– conversational scene extraction and summarization
• Content processing of conversational information
– natural language processing for conversations
– quantizing and generating conversations
– conversational agents
• Analyzing conversations
