Title
Towards a new generation of Personalized Intelligent Conversational Agents (PICA)
Abstract
The Personalized Intelligent Conversational Agents workshop focuses on both long-term engaging spoken dialogue systems and text-based chatbots, as well as conversational recommender systems. The goal of the workshop is to stimulate discussion around problems, challenges, possible solutions and research directions regarding the exploitation of natural language processing and machine learning techniques to learn user features and to use them to personalize the dialogue in the next generation of intelligent conversational agents.
