• Abstract summary: We investigate the usage of a commonly used rhetorical device by human -- metaphor for social chatbots. Our work first designs a metaphor generation framework, which generates topic-aware and novel figurative sentences. Human annotators validate the novelty and properness of the generated metaphors.

• Abstract: As the wide adoption of intelligent chatbot in human daily life, user demands for such systems evolve from basic task-solving conversations to more casual and friend-like communication. To meet the user needs and build emotional bond with users, it is essential for social chatbots to incorporate more human-like and advanced linguistic features. In this paper, we investigate the usage of a commonly used rhetorical device by human -- metaphor for social chatbot. Our work first designs a metaphor generation framework, which generates topic-aware and novel figurative sentences. By embedding the framework into a chatbot system, we then enables the chatbot to communicate with users using figurative language. Human annotators validate the novelty and properness of the generated metaphors. More importantly, we evaluate the effects of employing metaphors in human-chatbot conversations. Experiments indicate that our system effectively arouses user interests in communicating with our chatbot, resulting in significantly longer human-chatbot conversations.

  We aim to understand the dynamics of conversations that occur during modern software development after the integration of AI and chatbots. We compile existing conversation attributes with humans and NLU-based chatbots and adapt them to the context of software development. We present similarities and differences between human-to-human and human-to-bot conversations. We conclude that the recent conversation styles that we observe with LLM-chatbots can not replace conversations with humans.

  This study presents a framework whereby several empathetic chatbots are based on understanding users' implied feelings and replying empathetically for multiple dialogue turns. We call these chatbots CheerBots. CheerBots can be retrieval-based or generative-based and were finetuned by deep reinforcement learning. To respond in an empathetic way, we develop a simulating agent, a Conceptual Human Model, as aids for CheerBots in training with considerations on changes in user's emotional states in the future to arouse sympathy.

  Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion. The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element. Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.
