Abstract

Conversational Informatics is a field of research that focuses on investigating human conversational behaviors and designing conversational artifacts that can interact with people in a conversational fashion. It is aimed at unveiling meaning creation and interpretation through sophisticated mechanisms of the verbal / nonverbal interactions during conversations. I overview major ideas and outcomes of Conversational Informatics and discuss the role of Conversational Informatics as a glue connecting Web Intelligence and Brain Informatics.
