Empathetic Virtual Agents using Large Language Models

Type: Bachelor Master UROP
Status: Available

The rapid advancement of pervasive systems and wearables has paved the way for personal informatics systems, e.g., personal assistants and chatbots. These systems can be deployed in different personal and professional settings. Such personal assistants aim at personalizing the user ‘s experience by taking into consideration the user’s affection status and respond based on the user’s emotions and mental state status.

In this project, we aim at developing an empathetic personal assistant tool that provides an affection-aware user experience. The proposed tool integrates users’ affection from wearables with large language models, e.g., ChatGPT.

This project is available as a MSc thesis, as a BSc thesis, or as a UROP internship project.
