Here's our SIGDIAL 2023 paper exploring conversational AI for multiple people using LLMs Spring H2020 @NRobotarium Alana #NLProc #HRI #Conversational_AI #AI

We have deployed an LLM-based dialogue system in a hospital in Paris 🎉🎉 It is embodied by the ARI robot, and the next improvements are already ongoing. Exciting things to come!

Thrilled to get this paper out, a great collaboration with UCL VoCoLab, Angus Addlesee and Verena Rieser on how self-bias and sense of agency over a voice is altered when that voice is used to represent oneself in a social interaction.

It has been wonderful collaborating with my friends at Heriot-Watt University 's Interaction Lab (Interaction Lab). Thanks! In January, I submitted my PhD thesis titled: "Incremental Multi-party Conversational AI for People with Dementia" Luckily, even the sun came out for graduation day ☀️

Great presentation by ⁦Angus Addlesee⁩ at the AI dinner #aidinner #ai #dimentia
