 This repository contains the software library IPAACA developed by the Social Cognitive Systems Group at Bielefeld University. IPAACA stands for 'Incremental Processing Architecture for Artificial Conversational Agents.' The library is available in three languages: Python (Python3 compatible), C++, and Java, and for three operating systems: Linux, OS X, and Windows.
