泛自閉症障礙在諸多醫學研究中常被指出有社交活動、溝通困難、或者重複行為的問題，導致語言和非語言的行為表現上特別不善於處理。而實體化交談介面於多方領域研究中，表明是可以改善關於社交能力、溝通技巧、或是特定群體不擅長項目，在自閉症案例裡時常被用來解決自閉症患者的普遍性問題，像是幫助和促進自閉症患者在自然行為上的表現，包括口語、情緒識別、肢體動作。此外為了解自閉症的症狀程度，泛自閉症障礙者都會擁有由訓練有素的專業醫生評量的標準化觀察行為量表分數，通常於特定的情境中用來衡量小孩在溝通、社交互動以及綜合能力之三大核心領域的反應。然而，現今人工評量的方式有人為因素、耗時或不易擴展的問題，使得多數資訊無法有效被利用。因此在本文中，為實現自動化自閉症評估系統以及大規模執行，設計了一種系統架構在實體化交談介面上來進行解決，並開發基於行為衡量方法，用以幫助人們早期發現自閉症的症狀。而整體系統架構是由一種低階多模態訊號特徵、中階行為特徵和高階之自閉症診斷觀察量表三者所組成的關聯模式，且應用人類行為訊號處理技術的概念實作。最後，希望藉由數位科技的支持下，期望能夠給予於人們更便利的診斷工具，或者提供專家在決策上的客觀參考，以改善人們的日常生活。

In medical research, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is known as having social problems such as social interaction deficit, difficulties of communication, and repetitive behavior. Especially for the children, people with ASD have difficulties on dealing with verbal and non-verbal cues in social interaction. Some research indicate that embodied conversational agents (ECA) is helpful for improving social capabilities, or communication skills. In the case of autism, ECA is often used to solve the general problem in children with autism. For example, it can be used to elicit the natural behavioral performance of the autism patients, including verbal, emotion recognition, or body movement. To evaluate the syndrome in autism spectrum, a gold standard diagnostic tools-Autism diagnostic observation schedule (ADOS) is used to assess the severity of autism in clinical assessment of ASD. ADOS is usually conducted by professionals that are familiar with autistic disorders, and it measures social impairments in three core developmental domains: communication, reciprocal social interaction, communication and social. However, because there are existing problems like subjective evaluation, time-consuming, and non-scalable in manually assessment method, most of the information cannot be effectively utilized. Therefore, in this paper, we design an automatic assessment system based on behavior-based measurement to provide an early diagnosis with using ECA, and realize an automation autism diagnostic framework by behavioral signal processing (BSP) technique which consists of low-level multimodal signal feature, mid-level behavior feature, and high-level ADOS score. In the future, we expect to provide more convenient diagnostic tools to experts with decision-making objective reference and improve people's daily lives.
