Abstract
Conversation is indispensable in our intellectual life. People may make conversation either to achieve a social goal, to create a joint story, or to just enjoy a language game. Although a conversation has a fairly sophisticated structure and dynamism, people are sufficiently proficient in expressing their thoughts and interpreting utterances of their partners. In this chapter, we will introduce conversational informatics as a new interdisciplinary study that focuses on understanding and augmenting conversations. We will discuss why conversational informatics is important in the history of artificial intelligence research and show our long-term research strategy.
