After NTCIR conference at Tokyo, three pals who studied together  (Dr. Kimura and Dr. Takamaru on the right) gathered to make a plan. A plan to revolutionize radio broadcasting by full automatization.

No, we are not talking about automatic song shuffling, we are talking about radio celebrities (their avatars above) who not only talk to each other sharing their thoughts with the listeners. As the listener you can comment on the program or suggest a topic while listening (it’s a live broadcast). If the Radiobots decide that it is interesting what people are saying, they can change the content and make the radio more interactive that it was before. How cool is that? ;)

As I am responsible for knowledge and information retrieval, I have a secret plan to use one of the bots to discover cognitive biases in users utterances (or knowledge retrieved from the Internet). I am interested in the topic since I read works of Tversky and Kahneman and I even convinced one undergraduate to work on this topic. Stay tuned!
