Abstract

We have explored how a conversational agent can introduce a selected topic in an ongoing non-task oriented interaction with a user, where the selected topic has little to do with the current topic. Based on the reasoning process of the agent we have constructed a set of transition strategies to introduce the new topic. We tested the effects of each of these strategies on the perception of the dialogue and the agent.
