Conversational sentiment analysis is an emerging, yet challenging subtask of the sentiment analysis problem. It aims to discover the affective state and sentimental change in each person in a conversation based on their opinions. There exists a wealt...
BACKGROUND: Patients are increasingly taking an active role in their health. In doing so, they combine both mass and interpersonal media to gratify their cognitive and affective needs (ie, convergence). Owing to methodological challenges when studyin...
BACKGROUND: Chatbots empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) can increasingly engage in natural conversations and build relationships with users. Applying AI chatbots to lifestyle modification programs is one of the promising areas to develop cost-...
BACKGROUND: Reminiscence is the act of thinking or talking about personal experiences that occurred in the past. It is a central task of old age that is essential for healthy aging, and it serves multiple functions, such as decision-making and intros...
BACKGROUND: A rising number of conversational agents or chatbots are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) architecture. They are increasingly prevalent in health care applications such as those providing education and support to patients with c...
