A Computational Method for Extracting, Representing, and Predicting Social Closeness

摘要

Identifying the social closeness between two individuals is a key skill in any situation where interpersonal relations play a role. Consequently, such capacity is needed to enable AI systems to understand human interactions and interact naturally in social situations. However, current research has relied on simple proxies for social closeness, and richer models are difficult to achieve. This paper presents an approach to predicting social closeness based on linguistic interactions and demonstrates an ability to predict social closeness with high accuracy.
