Abstract

This paper contributes to the field of humoroids -- humor-equipped conversational agents. We present our multi-agent system (multi-humoroid), which tells jokes according to users' emotions, in order to make them feel better. We briefly describe the components and the design of the system, and present results of two experiments showing that the system with humor was evaluated as generally better than a baseline dialogue agent.
