Comments from the Award Winner, Kenta Shoji (3rd-year, Faculty of Policy Management)
Customer service professionals accurately grasp a user's situation through conversation and make proposals tailored to it. We are trying to replicate such interactions with a dialogue system. This research was recognized for its thorough data collection and analysis. We focused on the theme of travel, conducting group interviews with users in their 20s to 70s to gather data on how their travel styles change depending on the situation. In receiving this award, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Kazuto Ataka and Professor Ryuichiro Higashinaka for their daily guidance, as well as to my co-author, Mr. Nagao, and all the members of the laboratory who cooperated with me.
