Group description
Abstract
A pure software end-user application that supports people in their need to socialize while motivating self-improvement. Anthropomorphism is intentionally used to increase user commitment and experience. Machine learning techniques are used to process user's data and provide feedback, and to facilitate the anthropomorphized interface.

Problem statement and objectives
Goals
The software application should:
- Significantly reduce symptoms of loneliness as induced by infrequent social contact in users
- Register personal goals set by the users
- Collect data on the user's behavior and progress towards goals
- Provide the user with feedback and constructive nudges
Beyond the scope
The following features are probably valuable additions to the product, but they are beyond the scope of what can be achieved in one quartile:
- Voice recognition
- Animated anthropomorphized interface (e.g. simulated face)
Who are the users
The target of the application is to support civilians in daily life. The audience of the prototype is narrowed down to adolescents and adults who use computers on a daily basis.

Literature Review
Statistical dialog systems
Statistical dialog systems can be divided into two major categories[1]. The first category learns mappings from input messages to responses. In the simplest case this learning a probability distribution. More advanced algorithms, such as Seq2Seq, do take prior context into account. In particular, Seq2Seq uses two LSTMs (Long Short-Term Memory, a commonly used variant of Recurrent Neural Networks): one to encode input messages to an abstract feature vector, and another to convert such vectors to a reply [2].
