Synthetic Interviews is a technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Scott Stevens, Ph.D. and Michael Christel, Ph.D., computer researchers in CMU's School of Computer Science and Software Engineering Institute. Synthetic Interviews provide a means of conversing in-depth with an individual or character, permitting users to ask questions in a conversational manner (just as they would if they were interviewing the figure face-to-face), and receive relevant, pertinent answers to the questions asked. Existing Synthetic Interviews are accessible via either typed or spoken interfaces.
