Recently, chatbots have been applied in various fields and have shown good results, and many attempts to use chatbots in shopping mall product recommendation services are being conducted on e-commerce platforms. In this paper, for a conversation system that recommends a fashion that a user wants based on conversation between the user and the system and fashion image information, a transformer model that is currently performing well in various AI fields such as natural language processing, voice recognition, and image recognition. We propose a multimodal-based improved transformer model that is improved to increase the accuracy of recommendation by using dialogue (text) and fashion (image) information together for data preprocessing and data representation. We also propose a method to improve accuracy through data improvement by analyzing the data. The proposed system has a recommendation accuracy score of 0.6563 WKT (Weighted Kendall's tau), which significantly improved the existing system's 0.3372 WKT by 0.3191 WKT or more.

VoD(Video-on-Demand) servers have to provide timely processing guarantees for continuous media and reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements for continuous media. The compression techniques make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame. A VoD system should be able to provide the client with interactive operations such as fast forward and fast rewind in addition to normal playback of movie. However, interactive operations require additional resources such as storage space, disk bandwidth, memory and network bandwidth. In a stored video application such as VoD system, it is possible that a priori disk access patterns can be used to reserve the system resources in advance. In addition, clients of VoD server spend most of their time in playback mode and the period of time spent in interactive mode is relatively small. In this paper, I present the new buffer management scheme that provides efficient support for interactive operations in a VoD server using variable bit rate continuous media. Simulation results show that our strategy achieves 34% increase of the number of accepted clients over the LRU strategy.

To enhance immersive experiences for metaverse environements, background music is often used. However, the background music is mostly pre-matched and repeated which might occur a distractive experience to users as it does not align well with rapidly changing user-interactive contents. Thus, we implemented a system to provide a more immersive metaverse conversation experience by 1) developing a regression neural network that extracts emotions from an utterance using KEMDy20, the Korean multimodal emotion dataset 2) selecting music corresponding to the extracted emotions from an utterance by the DEAM dataset where music is tagged with arousal-valence levels 3) combining it with a virtual space where users can have a real-time conversation with avatars.

Recent deep learning-based research shows excellent performance in most natural language processing (NLP) fields with pre-trained language models. In particular, the auto-encoder-based language model proves its excellent performance and usefulness in various fields of Korean language understanding. However, the decoder-based Korean generative model even suffers from generating simple sentences. Also, there is few detailed research and data for the field of conversation where generative models are most commonly utilized. Therefore, this paper constructs multi-turn dialogue data for a Korean generative model. In addition, we compare and analyze the performance by improving the dialogue ability of the generative model through transfer learning. In addition, we propose a method of supplementing the insufficient dialogue generation ability of the model by extracting recommended response candidates from external knowledge information through a retrival model.

Task-oriented chatbots prevail in various filed with the artificial intelligent dialogue system. The need for chatbots in customer services is growing, especially in education businesses given that there are many user inquiries and consultation requests. However, current dialogue systems only function as simple reactions or predetermined and frequently used actions. Meanwhile, the research about customized recommendation systems through artificial intelligence is very active with a wide variety of educational content. Although a dialogue system and a recommendation system is a core element in this domain, it has a limitation in that it is being conducted separately. Therefore, we present a study on a recommendation system that can recommend user-customized lectures combined with a dialogue system. With this combination, our system can respond to additional functions beyond these limitations. Through our research, we expect that work efficiency and user satisfaction will be improved by applying chatbots in education domains that are becoming more diversified and personalized.

This study was conducted to implement Joseon Dynasty conversational style using the ChatGPT API to enhance the immersion of games set in the Joseon era. The research focuses on interactions between middle-class players and other classes. Two methods were employed: learning the dialogues from historical dramas set in the Joseon Dynasty and learning the sentence endings typical of the period. The method of learning sentence endings was rated higher based on self-evaluation criteria. Reflecting this, prompts were constructed to represent NPC dialogues in the game settings of the Joseon era. Additionally, a method was proposed for creating various NPC prompts using prompt combination techniques. This study can serve as a reference for NPC dialogue creation in games set in the Joseon Dynasty.

This paper discusses the use of GPT and GPT API for prompt engineering in the development of the interactive smart device lock screen application "Smart Lock," aimed at enhancing literacy among young children and lower-grade elementary and middle school students during critical language development periods. In an era where media usage via smartphones is widespread among children, smartphone-based media is often cited as a primary cause of declining literacy. This study proposes an application that simulates conversations with parents as a tool for improving literacy, providing an environment conducive to literacy enhancement through smartphone use. Generative AI GPT was employed to create literacy-improving problems. Using pre-generated data, situational dialogues with parents were presented, and prompt engineering was utilized to generate questions for the application. The response quality was improved through parameter tuning and function calling processes. This study investigates the potential of literacy improvement education using generative AI through the development process of interactive applications.

With the breakthrough of speech recognition technology, conversational agents have become pervasive through smartphones and smart speakers. The recognition accuracy of speech recognition technology has developed to the level of human beings, but it still shows limitations on understanding the underlying meaning or intention of words, or understanding long conversation. Accordingly, the users experience various errors when interacting with the conversational agents, which may negatively affect the user experience. In addition, in the case of smart speakers with a voice as the main interface, the lack of feedback on system and transparency was reported as the main issue when the users using. Therefore, there is a strong need for research on how users can better understand the capability of the conversational agents and mitigate negative emotions in error situations. In this study, we applied social strategies, "forewarning" and "apology", to conversational agent and investigated how these strategies affect users' perceptions of the agent in breakdown situations. For the study, we created a series of demo videos of a user interacting with a conversational agent. After watching the demo videos, the participants were asked to evaluate how they liked and trusted the agent through an online survey. A total of 104 respondents were analyzed and found to be contrary to our expectation based on the literature study. The result showed that forewarning gave a negative impression to the user, especially the reliability of the agent. Also, apology in a breakdown situation did not affect the users' perceptions. In the following in-depth interviews, participants explained that they perceived the smart speaker as a machine rather than a human-like object, and for this reason, the social strategies did not work. These results show that the social strategies should be applied according to the perceptions that user has toward agents.
