Challenges and Approaches in Designing Social SDS in the LLM Era

Koji Inoue


Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have brought about a significant transformation in spoken dialogue systems (SDSs). It is anticipated that these systems will be implemented into diverse robotic applications and employed in a variety of social settings. The author presents research interest with the aim of realizing social SDSs from multiple perspectives, including task design, turn-taking mechanisms, and evaluation methodologies. Additionally, future research in social SDSs should delve into a deeper understanding of user mental states and a relationship with society via multi-party conversations. Finally, the author suggests topics for discussion regarding the future directions of SDS researchers in the LLM era.
