Elderly people with speech impairments often face challenges in engaging in meaningful social communication, particularly when using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools that primarily address basic needs. Moreover, effective chats often rely on personal memories, which is hard to extract and reuse. We introduce SocializeChat, an AAC tool that generates sentence suggestions by drawing on users' personal memory records. By incorporating topic preference and interpersonal closeness, the system reuses past experience and tailors suggestions to different social contexts and conversation partners. SocializeChat not only leverages past experiences to support interaction, but also treats conversations as opportunities to create new memories, fostering a dynamic cycle between memory and communication. A user study shows its potential to enhance the inclusivity and relevance of AAC-supported social interaction.

翻译：患有言语障碍的老年人常常面临参与有意义社交交流的挑战，尤其是在使用主要满足基本需求的增强与替代沟通工具时。此外，有效的聊天往往依赖于个人记忆，而这些记忆难以提取和复用。我们介绍了SocializeChat，这是一种通过利用用户个人记忆记录生成句子建议的AAC工具。通过融入话题偏好与人际亲密度，该系统能够复用过去的经验，并根据不同的社交情境和对话对象定制建议。SocializeChat不仅利用过往经验来支持互动，还将对话视为创造新记忆的机会，从而在记忆与沟通之间建立起动态循环。一项用户研究表明，该工具有潜力提升AAC支持的社交互动的包容性与相关性。
