The goal of this PhD will be to create a realistic conversational agent with a "personality". The generation model will have to take into account a description of the agent's knowledge about the world, about itself and about the conversation in progress in order to generate coherent responses. This external knowledge must be easily replaced or updated. The conversational agent produced will be developed within the framework of the Cortex² European project aiming, among other things, to produce tools that facilitate the experience of online meetings.
