Chat-type Manzai application

Abstract

We have proposed and demonstrate Manzai robots that automatically generate Manzai scenarios. Manzai is a Japanese traditional comedy consisting of two comedians with funny dialogues like stand up comedy. Our Manzai robots are a huge system, but it is not easy for users to watch Manzai every day using our Manzai robots. As described herein, we propose a mobile style of presenting our automatically generated Manzai anytime and anywhere using a web application. We designate the application as a Chat-type Manzai Application. The Chat-type Manzai Application is intended to make people healthier by laughing as they relax and watch the Manzai. However, the Chat-type Manzai Application loses direction. Therefore, we propose a new dialogue component: the Name list component. We used experiments of three types to measure the benefits of our proposed application and component.
