The Communicative Activity of "Making Suggestions" as an Interactional Process: Towards a Dialog Model for HAI
Open accessAbstract
Dialog modeling of making suggestions in human-agent interaction is a challenge due to the socially delicate nature of a suggestion and ensuing interactional negotiations. A basic first dialog model for making suggestions was tested in the context of schedule management assistance by an embodied conversational agent with elderly and mildly cognitively impaired persons. Analysis showed that users responded according to human social structures with most response types bearing potential challenges concerning the system's language understanding and the users' intention interpretation:next to explicit answers, users produced implicit versions for acceptance or resistance and further requests for information or modifications. Thus, an enhanced dialog model with a newly added clarification sequence and a new multi-conditional entry sequence was tested in a second study with the autonomous system. Initial observations show a promising performance of the dialog model.

More HCI-oriented studies in the corpus offer design recommendations to improve specific technologies, often drawing on and contributing to theories, methods, and findings from human interaction research.
“On the one hand, more HCIoriented studies in our corpus offer design recommendations to improve a specific technology (e.g., Wallis 2008; Opfermann et al. 2017; Pelikan and Broth 2016), often drawing on-and contributing to-theories, methods, and findings from human interaction research (e.g., Pelikan et al. 2020; Krummheuer 2015b; Gehle et al. 2017).”

“…that was somewhat similar to Max : a “Wizard of Oz” controlled agent named Billie , which also consisted of a cartoon-like body, visible on screen from the hips up, but rendered in a 2D style and able to interact with users entirely through speech (Cyra and Pitsch 2017; Opfermann et al. 2017).”

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.
