CraftAssist: A Framework for Dialogue-enabled Interactive Agents
This work addresses the challenge of developing agents that can complete tasks based on dialogue, primarily for researchers in AI and human-computer interaction, but it is incremental as it focuses on implementation and data collection tools.
The paper tackles the problem of studying dialogue-enabled interactive agents by implementing a bot assistant in Minecraft, resulting in a framework that allows players to interact with and record interactions for research purposes.
This paper describes an implementation of a bot assistant in Minecraft, and the tools and platform allowing players to interact with the bot and to record those interactions. The purpose of building such an assistant is to facilitate the study of agents that can complete tasks specified by dialogue, and eventually, to learn from dialogue interactions.
