Abstract

In this demo paper we present a system that is capable of adapting the dialogue between human and so-called companion systems in real-time. Companion systems are continually available, co-operative, and reliable assistants which adapt to a user's capabilities, preferences, requirements, and current needs. Typically state-of-the art Human-Computer interfaces adapt the interaction only to pre-defined levels of expertise. In contrast, the presented system adapts the structure and content of the interaction to each user by including explanations to prepare him for upcoming tasks he has to solve together with the companion system.
