We show that the model produces improvements in virtual human performance as measured by post-session questionnaires.Antonio Roque, David Traum","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2009/257","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2009/0257.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2009/257.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2009/bibtex/257","volume":{"slug":"2009","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2009","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2009/","year":2009,"location":"Pasadena, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Hiroaki Kitano","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":257,"pages":{"first":1537,"last":1541},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
