Human-Like Embodied AI Interviewer: Employing Android ERICA in Real International Conference
This addresses the need for automated interview systems in real-world settings, though it is incremental as it builds on existing conversational AI and robotics.
The paper tackled the problem of conducting human-like interviews using an embodied AI interviewer, achieving a 69% positive experience rate from 42 participants at SIGDIAL 2024.
This paper introduces the human-like embodied AI interviewer which integrates android robots equipped with advanced conversational capabilities, including attentive listening, conversational repairs, and user fluency adaptation. Moreover, it can analyze and present results post-interview. We conducted a real-world case study at SIGDIAL 2024 with 42 participants, of whom 69% reported positive experiences. This study demonstrated the system's effectiveness in conducting interviews just like a human and marked the first employment of such a system at an international conference.
