AI-Enabled Laughing Robots are No Joke
Universe Today ^ | September 19, 2022 | Cami Rosso

The three AI models that comprise the solution were a laugh detector, a shared laughter predictor, and a laugh type selector. Each of these models was trained using data from a human-robot speed dating conversation database.

The scientists used data from over 80 speed dating dialogues between Kyoto University male students and a remote control robot called ERICA teleoperated by one of four amateur actresses who were in a different room while communicating through the android’s speaker. ERICA is also capable of non-verbal communication such as eye gaze, gestures, and nodding the head. The participants tried to get to know each other via friendly dialogue lasting 10-15 minutes.

The laughter detection model is an AI recurrent neural network. The positive samples that were identified by the laughter detector model were then further labeled as shared laughter if ERICA responded with laughter in a timely manner to the initial user laugh. This resulted in over 260 shared laughter samples that were then annotated by the laugh type selector as either mirthful or social laughs. The laughter type selector used the identical logistic regression model as the shared laughter predictor.

The AI machine learning system was trained using this data to decide whether or not to respond with laughter, and if so, what type of laughter (mirthful or social).

They should make one that laughs at whatever you say until you go nuts and attack it.

Below are samples of what the robots said to each other during the speed dating process:

"Is that a power cord in your pocket or are you glad to see me?"

"I'd like to byte into your bits!"

"I hope you're better than the last guy I LINQ'd with. I had to purge him from my memory."

"I date only men who store on solid state." "When you're around, baby, it's a hard drive!"

"I'd gonna kiss you on the LISPs."

"While sitting here drinking a cup of Java with you, I realized you're a definite upgrade over the last woman."

"I believe in diversity dating." "Sorry, honey. When it comes to dating or anything else, I'm binary."

"When I was praying to meet a woman like you, the Lord spoke to me and said 'ASCII and you shall receive'."
