The effect of head-nod recognition in human-robot conversation,

Sidner, Candace L., Lee, Christopher, Morency, Louis-Philippe, Forlines, Clifton·2006·Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCHI/SIGART conference on Human-robot interaction

Abstract

This paper reports on a study of human participants with a robot designed to participate in a collaborative conversation with a human. The purpose of the study was to investigate a particular kind of gestural feedback from human to the robot in these conversations: head nods. During these conversations, the robot recognized head nods from the human participant. The conversations between human and robot concern demonstrations of inventions created in a lab. We briefly discuss the robot hardware and architecture and then focus the paper on a study of the effects of understanding head nods in three different conditions. We conclude that conversation itself triggers head nods by people in human-robot conversations and that telling participants that the robot recognizes their nods as well as having the robot provide gestural feedback of its nod recognition is effective in producing more nods.

  • There is some evidence suggesting that when agents provide feedback, users also expect their own feedback to be understood by the agent.

    “There is some evidence suggesting that when agents provide feedback, users also expect their own feedback to be understood by the agent (Sidner et al., 2006; Kontogiorgos et al., 2021; Laban et al., 2021).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
