Modeling of Human Information Processing in the Daily Conversational Situation and its Computer Simulation

本项目的主要目的是研究人类社会交往的基本意义和结构，特别是在日常会话情境中表现出来的，通过实验和计算机模拟，我们成功地发现了日语会话的一些重要特征，其他分析，即使它必须承认，正如许多其他功能仍然没有探索。我们现在正在构建一个实验模型的NENE聊天机的基础上的调查结果，到目前为止获得。然而，在现阶段，我们不能期望这台实验机器即使完成了也能有很高的性能，主要原因是为了达到这一目的，必须对会话情景的类型和会话语句的类型进行严格的重构。 ...更多信息 他的机器能够处理它们。因此，需要继续努力改进模型和机器，我们在研究过程中得到的一个重要启示是，在我们能够理解日常对话的真实的本质之前，必须进行比目前认知科学和社会心理学领域更多的基础研究。从这个角度出发，我们在社会交往的理论基础、社会交往与人的知觉的实验研究、各种社会心理因素对话语产生和认知的影响等方面做了大量的研究工作。我们已经开始了一项关于人类创造性地理解世界的实验研究，希望弥合人类与人工知识表示之间现存的最大差距。少

The major purposes of this project are to investigate the basic meaning and the structure of human social interactions, in particular, those manifested in the daily conversational situation, and also to test the validity of the obtained model of Japanese conversational utterances by means of computer simulation.We have succeeded in this project in making discoveries of a number of significant features of Japanese conversational utterances through experimental and other analyses, even though it has to be conceded that just as many other features are still left unexplored. We are now on the way of constructing an experimental model of NENE the chatting machine on the basis of the findings so far obtained. At the present stage, however, we would not be able to expect a very high performance of this experimental machine even when it is completed, mainly for the reason that the kind of conversational situations and the types of conversational utterances have to be severely restructued for t … More he machine to be able to handle them. A continued effort to improve the model and the machine will thus be called for.One of the major implications we have obtained in the process of our investigation is that a lot more basic researches would have to be undertaken than those currently under way in the areas of cognitive science and social psychology, before we could ever come to understand the real nature of daily conversation. From such a viewpoint, we have done our share of investigations in the areas such as theoretical foundation of social interactions, experimental investigations concerning social interaction and person perception, and influences of various socio-psychological factors upon the production of utterances and the cognition of these utterances.To mention one more of our major endeavors done in this project, we have initiated an experimental investigation of the human creative understanding of the world, in the hope of bridging the largest remaining gap between the human and the artificial knowledge representations.
