Abstract

Although conversational dialogue systems are required for continuing long conversations with users to build relationships, they sometimes make sentences that are not related to the dialogue context, causing the dialogue to easily break down. We propose a novel dialogue system framework with which two robots coordinate to create long conversations by avoiding dialogue breakdown.
