In this project, we have designed an ontology-based knowledge system for caring person with dementia at home or care facility. Proposed system contains an ontology that describes the knowledge of dementia patient, dementia symptoms, indoor environment, qualitative things and various patient’s situation happening during daily life. We first describe the overall system architecture of the proposed system targeting at supporting caregivers or family members that can provide appropriate care guides for distinct symptoms of a dementia patient.
In this project, we are interested in verbal behaviors of human when humans are interacting with artificial agents like robot or smart speaker. Currently, we are trying to build (1) Social dialogue models and (2) Models to handle the indirect speech act that are commonly found in verbal human-robot interaction. For social dialogue model, we have acquired more the 3,000 actual chatting data between human and coded several different social cues.
