Human-agent experience sharing : Creating social agents for elderly people with dementia

Abstract

As intelligent technology steadily becomes a part of modern societies, people collaborate with agents more frequently, and so agents need to be socially intelligent, i.e. personalised and context-sensitive. This paper introduces a context-sen-sitive personalisation framework for social agents that fa-<br/>cilitates the establishment of human-agent relationships by sharing past experiences through personal conversation, and sharing new experiences by engaging in joint activities together. We apply the framework in a robot application for the dementia care practice: ReJAM - Robots engaging El-<br/>derly in Joint Activities with Music.
