Dialogue system that generates short funny stories using mishearing

Abstract

This study aims to improve the dialogue continuity problem in non-task oriented dialogue systems by using humor. The proposed method considers logical incompatibility, structural incompatibility, and resolution in the “incompatibility-resolution model” and generates short stories using mishearing. In an evaluation experiment using a prototype system, the proposed method was able to generate unexpected speech for the user by generating humor, but issues were found regarding the “timing of generating short stories”, "funniness” and “dialogue continuity”.
