Automatic domain modeling for human–robot interaction

Abstract

© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. This paper introduces an approach to automatic domain modeling for human–robot interaction. The proposed approach is symbolic and intended for semantically unconstrained task-oriented human–robot interaction domains. At the specification level, it is cognitively inspired, addressing selected cognitive mechanisms of the human memory system (e.g., integration, semantic categorization, associative learning, etc.) that are relevant for natural language human–robot interaction. We discuss a corpus-based validation of the introduced approach and report on its particular implementation within the conversational agent integrated with a human-like robot.
