| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to contribute to reduce mental barrier to an information system for those who are unfamiliar to such systems. We investigated two approaches to generate empathetic speech of a spoken dialogue system autonomously: (1)Synthesizing a response speech to mimic its user's speech especially prosody, (2)Generation and timing control of hierarchical responses consist of a back channel, a repetition of a user utterance and selected comments from SNS(Social Network Service). These methods are applied to a chat robot and the experimental result indicates that the methods encourage the users' to use the system continuously.
