Abstract
Conversational system development dates back to the early days of computer science when pioneering researchers started to take up serious projects aimed at having computers interact with people using natural language. Their endeavors have produced a broad range of theories, techniques, and systems, ranging from basic research to applications, from text to multimodal signals, from dialogue to story, and from computational to cognitive. In this chapter, we will present a bird’s eye view of these activities and highlight epochs relevant to conversational informatics.
