Contexte et atouts du poste
Within the framework of a large international project on adaptive personality in conversational agents,, Inria is responsible for investigating the impact of interpersonal factors on the display of personality, in people and in conversational agents that interact with people. This involves collecting a corpus of dialogues by groups of 4 people, whose personality traits will have been assessed, and who will work on a series of 3 tasks. (to match the corpora collected in other languages). The corpus will then BE annotated and analyzed for the impact of various psychological, linguistic, and interpersonal factors such as the strength of social bonds among the interactants, the personality traits of the different members of the group, the nature of the task, and so forth, on the verbal and nonverbal display of personality. Results will then BE applied to the implementation of embodied conversational agents that represent the results, and the agents will BE tested in interaction with people to assess the impact of interpersonality on the success of human-machine interaction.
