| Abstract: | Conversations are a part of everyday life, but sometimes finding a way to start a conversation can be difficult. Having a fun question that can act as an ice breaker can not only help humans to start a conversation, but can also be used for virtual agents to simulate a natural interaction. We propose a system that can generate a creative question that can spark a discussion by trying to put a word into an unusual category. Evaluation shows this system is able to create such a conversation starter, but not all output it creates is successful. The program can still be improved in creativity and efficiency. |
