    Co-constructing Grounded Symbols—Feedback and Incremental Adaptation in Human–Agent Dialogue
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 27, No. 2, 2013) Buschmeier, Hendrik; Kopp, Stefan
    Grounding in dialogue concerns the question of how the gap between the individual symbol systems of interlocutors can be bridged so that mutual understanding is possible. This problem is highly relevant to human–agent interaction where mis- or non-understanding is common. We argue that humans minimise this gap by collaboratively and iteratively creating a shared conceptualisation that serves as a basis for negotiating symbol meaning. We then present a computational model that enables an artificial conversational agent to estimate the user’s mental state (in terms of contact, perception, understanding, acceptance, agreement and based upon his or her feedback signals) and use this information to incrementally adapt its ongoing communicative actions to the user’s needs. These basic abilities are important to reduce friction in the iterative coordination process of co-constructing grounded symbols in dialogue.

    Interacting with Robots and Virtual Agents? Robotic Systems in Situated Action and Social Encounters
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Pitsch, Karola
    Research in informatics and the engineering sciences strives to endow technical systems – like (humanoid) robots, embodied conversational agents, voice interfaces etc. – with abilities that should allow the systems to “interact with people in a natural, interpersonal manner” (Breazeal et al. 2016: 1935). While the evaluation of such technologies has a strong tradition in the fields of psychology and cognitive sciences investigating the robot’s/agent’s usability and the users’ perception and attitudes using questionnaires and quantitative measures, it remains unclear as how these results are related to the concrete interactional conduct of the robot/agent, how users spontaneously attempt to deal with such technologies, which resources they mobilize to coordinate their actions with those of the robot/agent, and how the artefact and its agency are constructed. This workshop aims at addressing these open questions in that it suggests an interactional and praxeological approach based on the micro-analysis of video-taped recordings of encounters between humans and robots and a research methodology based on Ethnography and Conversation Analysis. It brings together researchers from the humanities and social sciences who investigate the ways in which robotic systems feature in situated action and social encounters ‘in the wild’.
