A Textual Dialogue Management System for Internet Chatting Over Virtual Agents Communication

In this paper we give a smart procedure to manage the chatting dialogues among multiple agents in virtual space. The framework of our virtual chatting system is quite different from current virtual communicating systems, since our system is totally unified to facilitate the chatting by exploiting the spatial relationship information of chatting agents. We propose a novel data structure, Chatting Flow Graph (CFG) which keeps track of the all chatting dialogues among virtual agents. This acyclic directed CFG is a more flexible and superior to the previous chatting text, which is only kept in terms of temporal sequence without any information about question/answer pairing tag.
