Research project

The role of rapport in human conversational agent interaction: Modeling conversation to improve task performance in human agent interaction.

Short abstract

I work on adapting large language models for spontaneous conversation and enhancing their ability to establish a social connection with the interlocutor beyond merely transmitting information. I investigate ways to enable these models to better replicate human interaction dynamics, including social factors such as rapport.
