- Abstract: Elderly people with speech impairments often face challenges in engaging in meaningful social communication, particularly when using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools that primarily address basic needs. Moreover, effective chats often rely on personal memories, which is hard to extract and reuse. We introduce SocializeChat, an AAC tool that generates sentence suggestions by drawing on users' personal memory records. By incorporating topic preference and interpersonal closeness, the system reuses past experience and tailors suggestions to different social contexts and conversation partners. SocializeChat not only leverages past experiences to support interaction, but also treats conversations as opportunities to create new memories, fostering a dynamic cycle between memory and communication. A user study shows its potential to enhance the inclusivity and relevance of AAC-supported social interaction.

SpeakEasy attempts to help college students improve their communication skills by engaging in a seven-minute spoken conversation with the user.
SpeakEasy converses with the user on a wide assortment of topics that two people meeting for the first time might discuss: travel, sports, and entertainment.
Unlike most other chatbots with the goal of improving conversation skills, SpeakEasy actually records the user speaking, transcribes the audio into tokens, and uses macros-e.g., sequences that calculate the pace of speech.
