Towards an Episodic Memory for Companion Dialogue

We present an episodic memory component for enhancing the dialogue of artificial companions with the capability to refer to, take up and comment on past interactions with the user, and to take into account in the dialogue long-term user preferences and interests. The proposed episodic memory is based on RDF representations of the agent’s experiences and is linked to the agent’s semantic memory containing the agent’s knowledge base of ontological data and information about the interests of the user.
