Title
NEMOHIFI: an affective HiFi agent
Abstract
This demo concerns a recently developed prototype of an emotionally-sensitive autonomous HiFi Spoken Conversational Agent, called NEMOHIFI. The baseline agent was developed by the Speech Technology Group (GTH) and has recently been integrated with an emotional engine called NEMO (Need-inspired Emotional Model) to enable it to adapt to users' emotion and respond to the users using appropriate expressive speech. NEMOHIFI controls and manages the HiFi audio system, and for end users, its functions equate a remote control, except that instead of clicking, the user interacts with the agent using voice. A pairwise comparison between the baseline (non-adaptive) and NEMO-HIFI showed that the latter was not only statistically substantially preferred by users to the former, but they are also significantly more satisfied with it than the former.
