Customers are rapidly turning to social media for customer support. While brand agents on these platforms are motivated and well-intentioned to help and engage with customers, their efforts are often ignored if their initial response to the customer does not match a specific tone, style, or topic the customer is aiming to receive. The length of a conversation can reflect the effort and quality of the initial response made by a brand toward collaborating and helping consumers, even when the overall sentiment of the conversation might not be very positive. Thus, through this study, we aim to bridge this critical gap in the existing literature by analyzing language's content and stylistic aspects such as expressed empathy, psycho-linguistic features, dialogue tags, and metrics for quantifying personalization of the utterances that can influence the engagement of an interaction. This paper demonstrates that we can predict engagement using initial customer and brand posts.

Any organization needs to improve their products, services, and processes. In this context, engaging with customers and understanding their journey is essential. Organizations have leveraged various techniques and technologies to support customer engagement, from call centres to chatbots and virtual agents. Recently, these systems have used Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze large volumes of customer feedback and engagement data. The goal is to understand customers in context and provide meaningful answers across various channels. Despite multiple advances in Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Recommender Systems (RS), it is still challenging to understand the intent behind customer questions during the customer journey. To address this challenge, in this paper, we study and analyze the recent work in Conversational Recommender Systems (CRS) in general and, more specifically, in chatbot-based CRS. We introduce a pipeline to contextualize the input utterances in conversations. We then take the next step towards leveraging reverse feature engineering to link the contextualized input and learning model to support intent recognition. Since performance evaluation is achieved based on different ML models, we use transformer base models to evaluate the proposed approach using a labelled dialogue dataset (MSDialogue) of question-answering interactions between information seekers and answer providers.

Artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) are increasingly being used in customer service to interact with users and answer their questions. The goal of this systematic review is to examine existing research on the use of NLP technology in customer service, including the research domain, applications, datasets used, and evaluation methods. The review also looks at the future direction of the field and any significant limitations. The review covers the time period from 2015 to 2022 and includes papers from five major scientific databases. Chatbots and question-answering systems were found to be used in 10 main fields, with the most common use in general, social networking, and e-commerce areas. Twitter was the second most commonly used dataset, with most research also using their own original datasets. Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 were the most common evaluation methods. Future work aims to improve the performance and understanding of user behavior and emotions, and address limitations such as the volume, diversity, and quality of datasets. This review includes research on different spoken languages and models and techniques.

Empathy is a vital factor that contributes to mutual understanding, and joint problem-solving. In recent years, a growing number of studies have recognized the benefits of empathy and started to incorporate empathy in conversational systems. We refer to this topic as empathetic conversational systems. To identify the critical gaps and future opportunities in this topic, this paper examines this rapidly growing field using five review dimensions: (i) conceptual empathy models and frameworks, (ii) adopted empathy-related concepts, (iii) datasets and algorithmic techniques developed, (iv) evaluation strategies, and (v) state-of-the-art approaches. The findings show that most studies have centered on the use of the EMPATHETICDIALOGUES dataset, and the text-based modality dominates research in this field. Studies mainly focused on extracting features from the messages of the users and the conversational systems, with minimal emphasis on user modeling and profiling. Notably, studies that have incorporated emotion causes, external knowledge, and affect matching in the response generation models, have obtained significantly better results. For implementation in diverse real-world settings, we recommend that future studies should address key gaps in areas of detecting and authenticating emotions at the entity level, handling multimodal inputs, displaying more nuanced empathetic behaviors, and encompassing additional dialogue system features.

以任务为导向的对话系统（TODS）继续升高，因为各种行业发现有效地利用其能力，节省时间和金钱。然而，即使是最先进的TOD尚未达到其全部潜力。TOD通常具有主要设计专注于完成手头的任务，因此任务分辨率的度量应优先考虑。可能会忽略可能指向对话的其他可能指向成功或其他方面的会话质量属性。这可能导致人类和对话系统之间的相互作用，让用户不满意或沮丧。本文探讨了对话系统的评价框架的文献，以及对话系统中的会话质量属性的作用，看起来，如何以及在与对话系统的性能相关的情况下，如何相关。

Finally, we discuss how AI-enabled capabilities can improve UX when users interact with computing systems, applications, and services.

讽刺可以被定义为说或写讽刺与一个人真正想表达的相反，通常是为了侮辱，刺激或娱乐某人。由于文本数据中讽刺性的性质晦涩难懂，因此检测到情感分析研究社区的困难和非常感兴趣。尽管讽刺检测的研究跨越了十多年，但最近已经取得了一些重大进步，包括在多模式环境中采用了无监督的预训练的预训练的变压器，并整合了环境以识别讽刺。在这项研究中，我们旨在简要概述英语计算讽刺研究的最新进步和趋势。我们描述了与讽刺有关的相关数据集，方法，趋势，问题，挑战和任务，这些数据集，趋势，问题，挑战和任务是无法检测到的。我们的研究提供了讽刺数据集，讽刺特征及其提取方法以及各种方法的性能分析，这些表可以帮助相关领域的研究人员了解当前的讽刺检测中最新实践。

Large language models have recently attracted significant attention due to their impressive performance on a variety of tasks. ChatGPT developed by OpenAI is one such implementation of a large, pre-trained language model that has gained immense popularity among early adopters, where certain users go to the extent of characterizing it as a disruptive technology in many domains. Understanding such early adopters' sentiments is important because it can provide insights into the potential success or failure of the technology, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, we conduct a mixed-method study using 10,732 tweets from early ChatGPT users. We first use topic modelling to identify the main topics and then perform an in-depth qualitative sentiment analysis of each topic. Our results show that the majority of the early adopters have expressed overwhelmingly positive sentiments related to topics such as Disruptions to software development, Entertainment and exercising creativity. Only a limited percentage of users expressed concerns about issues such as the potential for misuse of ChatGPT, especially regarding topics such as Impact on educational aspects. We discuss these findings by providing specific examples for each topic and then detail implications related to addressing these concerns for both researchers and users.

本次调查绘制了用于分析社交媒体数据的生成方法的研究状态的广泛的全景照片（Sota）。它填补了空白，因为现有的调查文章在其范围内或被约会。我们包括两个重要方面，目前正在挖掘和建模社交媒体的重要性：动态和网络。社会动态对于了解影响影响或疾病的传播，友谊的形成，友谊的形成等，另一方面，可以捕获各种复杂关系，提供额外的洞察力和识别否则将不会被注意的重要模式。

情绪分析中最突出的任务是为文本分配情绪，并了解情绪如何在语言中表现出来。自然语言处理的一个重要观察结果是，即使没有明确提及情感名称，也可以通过单独参考事件来隐式传达情绪。在心理学中，被称为评估理论的情感理论类别旨在解释事件与情感之间的联系。评估可以被形式化为变量，通过他们认为相关的事件的人们的认知评估来衡量认知评估。其中包括评估事件是否是新颖的，如果该人认为自己负责，是否与自己的目标以及许多其他人保持一致。这样的评估解释了哪些情绪是基于事件开发的，例如，新颖的情况会引起惊喜或不确定后果的人可能引起恐惧。我们在文本中分析了评估理论对情绪分析的适用性，目的是理解注释者是否可以可靠地重建评估概念，如果可以通过文本分类器预测，以及评估概念是否有助于识别情感类别。为了实现这一目标，我们通过要求人们发短信描述触发特定情绪并披露其评估的事件来编译语料库。然后，我们要求读者重建文本中的情感和评估。这种设置使我们能够衡量是否可以纯粹从文本中恢复情绪和评估，并为判断模型的绩效指标提供人体基准。我们将文本分类方法与人类注释者的比较表明，两者都可以可靠地检测出具有相似性能的情绪和评估。我们进一步表明，评估概念改善了文本中情绪的分类。

少数群体一直在使用社交媒体来组织社会运动，从而产生深远的社会影响。黑人生活问题（BLM）和停止亚洲仇恨（SAH）是两个成功的社会运动，在Twitter上蔓延开来，促进了抗议活动和活动，反对种族主义，并提高公众对少数群体面临的其他社会挑战的认识。但是，以前的研究主要对与用户的推文或访谈进行了定性分析，这些推文或访谈可能无法全面和有效地代表所有推文。很少有研究以严格，量化和以数据为中心的方法探讨了BLM和SAH对话中的Twitter主题。因此，在这项研究中，我们采用了一种混合方法来全面分析BLM和SAH Twitter主题。我们实施了（1）潜在的DIRICHLET分配模型，以了解顶级高级单词和主题以及（2）开放编码分析，以确定整个推文中的特定主题。我们通过#BlackLivesMatter和#Stopasianhate主题标签收集了超过一百万条推文，并比较了它们的主题。我们的发现表明，这些推文在深度上讨论了各种有影响力的话题，社会正义，社会运动和情感情感都是两种运动的共同主题，尽管每个运动都有独特的子主题。我们的研究尤其是社交媒体平台上的社会运动的主题分析，以及有关AI，伦理和社会相互作用的文献。

Charisma is considered as one's ability to attract and potentially also influence others. Clearly, there can be considerable interest from an artificial intelligence's (AI) perspective to provide it with such skill. Beyond, a plethora of use cases opens up for computational measurement of human charisma, such as for tutoring humans in the acquisition of charisma, mediating human-to-human conversation, or identifying charismatic individuals in big social data. A number of models exist that base charisma on various dimensions, often following the idea that charisma is given if someone could and would help others. Examples include influence (could help) and affability (would help) in scientific studies or power (could help), presence, and warmth (both would help) as a popular concept. Modelling high levels in these dimensions for humanoid robots or virtual agents, seems accomplishable. Beyond, also automatic measurement appears quite feasible with the recent advances in the related fields of Affective Computing and Social Signal Processing. Here, we, thereforem present a blueprint for building machines that can appear charismatic, but also analyse the charisma of others. To this end, we first provide the psychological perspective including different models of charisma and behavioural cues of it. We then switch to conversational charisma in spoken language as an exemplary modality that is essential for human-human and human-computer conversations. The computational perspective then deals with the recognition and generation of charismatic behaviour by AI. This includes an overview of the state of play in the field and the aforementioned blueprint. We then name exemplary use cases of computational charismatic skills before switching to ethical aspects and concluding this overview and perspective on building charisma-enabled AI.

关于哪些类型的故障机器人在家庭环境中以及这些失败如何影响客户体验时，存在知识差距。我们在亚马逊上分类了10,072个客户评论，通过它们中描述的机器人失败，将故障分组为十二种类型和三类（技术，互动和服务）。我们确定了先前忽略了文献中忽视的失败的来源和类型，将它们结合到更新的失败分类。我们分析了他们的频率和关系与客户明星评级。结果表明，对于功利主义国内机器人来说，技术故障比互动或服务失败更有害。常常报告任务完成和鲁棒性和恢复力的问题，并具有最大的负面影响。未来的预防和反应战略应解决机器人的技术能力，以满足功能目标，运作和保持结构完整性随着时间的推移。可用性和互动设计对客户体验不利，表明客户可能更宽容影响机器人和实际用途的影响的失败。此外，我们开发了一种能够预测客户审查是否包含描述故障的内容以及它描述的故障类型的自然语言处理模型。借鉴了这些知识，机器人系统的设计者和研究人员可以优先考虑设计和开发努力实现基本问题。

Incivility remains a major challenge for online discussion platforms, to such an extent that even conversations between well-intentioned users can often derail into uncivil behavior. Traditionally, platforms have relied on moderators to -- with or without algorithmic assistance -- take corrective actions such as removing comments or banning users. In this work we propose a complementary paradigm that directly empowers users by proactively enhancing their awareness about existing tension in the conversation they are engaging in and actively guides them as they are drafting their replies to avoid further escalation. As a proof of concept for this paradigm, we design an algorithmic tool that provides such proactive information directly to users, and conduct a user study in a popular discussion platform. Through a mixed methods approach combining surveys with a randomized controlled experiment, we uncover qualitative and quantitative insights regarding how the participants utilize and react to this information. Most participants report finding this proactive paradigm valuable, noting that it helps them to identify tension that they may have otherwise missed and prompts them to further reflect on their own replies and to revise them. These effects are corroborated by a comparison of how the participants draft their reply when our tool warns them that their conversation is at risk of derailing into uncivil behavior versus in a control condition where the tool is disabled. These preliminary findings highlight the potential of this user-centered paradigm and point to concrete directions for future implementations.

从三个研究趋势中汇集了考虑（合作的诚实信号，社会语义网络和同性恋理论），我们假设字词使用相似性并具有类似的社交网络位置与员工数字交互的水平相关联。为了验证我们的假设，我们分析了近1600名员工的沟通，在大公司的Intranet通信论坛上互动。我们研究了他们的社会动态和“诚实信号”，在过去的研究中证明有利于员工的参与和合作。我们发现这个词使用相似性是交互的主要驱动因素，远远超过网络位置的其他语言特征或相似性。我们的结果表明根据目标受众仔细选择语言，并对公司经理和在线社区管理员进行实际影响。例如，了解如何更好的使用语言可以支持开发知识共享实践或内部通信活动。

了解用户对话中的毒性无疑是一个重要问题。正如在以前的工作中所说的那样，解决“隐秘”或隐含毒性案件特别困难，需要上下文。以前很少有研究已经分析了会话语境在人类感知或自动检测模型中的影响。我们深入探讨这两个方向。我们首先分析现有的上下文数据集，并得出结论，人类的毒性标记一般受到对话结构，极性和主题的影响。然后，我们建议通过引入（a）神经架构来将这些发现带入计算检测模型中，以了解会话结构的语境毒性检测，以及（b）可以帮助模拟语境毒性检测的数据增强策略。我们的结果表明了了解谈话结构的神经架构的令人鼓舞的潜力。我们还表明，这些模型可以从合成数据中受益，尤其是在社交媒体领域。

通过为患者启用远程医疗服务，远程医疗有助于促进医疗专业人员的机会。随着必要的技术基础设施的出现，这些服务已逐渐流行。自从Covid-19危机开始以来，远程医疗的好处就变得更加明显，因为人们在大流行期间倾向于亲自探望医生。在本文中，我们专注于促进医生和患者之间的聊天课程。我们注意到，随着对远程医疗服务的需求的增加，聊天体验的质量和效率可能至关重要。因此，我们为医学对话开发了一种智能的自动反应生成机制，该机制可帮助医生有效地对咨询请求做出反应，尤其是在繁忙的课程中。我们探索了9个月内收集的医生和患者之间的900,000多个匿名的历史在线信息。我们实施聚类算法，以确定医生最常见的响应，并相应地手动标记数据。然后，我们使用此预处理数据来训练机器学习算法以生成响应。所考虑的算法有两个步骤：过滤（即触发）模型，以滤除不可行的患者消息和一个响应发生器，以建议成功通过触发阶段的响应前3位医生响应。该方法为Precision@3提供了83.28 \％的精度，并显示出其参数的鲁棒性。

创新者是有创造力的人，他们可以唤起代表创新组织主要引擎的开创性思想。过去的研究已广泛调查了谁是创新者以及他们在与工作有关的活动中的行为。在本文中，我们建议有必要分析创新者在其他情况下的行为，例如在非正式沟通空间中，在没有正式结构，规则和工作义务的情况下共享知识。利用通信和网络理论，我们分析了大型跨国公司的Intranet论坛上可用的38,000个帖子。由此，我们解释了创新者在社交网络行为和语言特征方面与其他员工的不同。通过文本挖掘，我们发现创新者编写更多，使用更复杂的语言，介绍新的概念/想法，并使用积极但基于事实的语言。了解创新者的行为和沟通如何支持想要促进创新的经理的决策过程。

Covid-19在大流行的不同阶段对公众构成了不成比例的心理健康后果。我们使用一种计算方法来捕获引发在线社区对大流行的焦虑的特定方面，并研究这些方面如何随时间变化。首先，我们使用主题分析在R/covid19 \ _support的Reddit帖子样本（$ n $ = 86）中确定了九个焦虑（SOA）。然后，我们通过在手动注释的样本（$ n $ = 793）上训练Reddit用户的焦虑来自动将SOA标记在较大的年代样本中（$ n $ = 6,535）。 9个SOA与最近开发的大流行焦虑测量量表中的项目保持一致。我们观察到，在大流行的前八个月，Reddit用户对健康风险的担忧仍然很高。尽管案件激增稍后发生，但这些担忧却大大减少了。通常，随着大流行的进展，用户的语言披露了SOA的强烈强度。但是，在本研究涵盖的整个期间，人们对心理健康的担忧和未来稳步增长。人们还倾向于使用更强烈的语言来描述心理健康问题，而不是健康风险或死亡问题。我们的结果表明，尽管Covid-19逐渐削弱，但由于适当的对策而逐渐削弱了作为健康威胁，但该在线小组的心理健康状况并不一定会改善。我们的系统为人口健康和流行病学学者奠定了基础，以及时检查引起大流行焦虑的方面。

聊天机器人在商业和科学环境中越来越普遍。他们帮助客户抱怨产品或服务或支持他们找到最佳旅行交易。其他机器人提供心理健康支持或帮助预订医疗预约。本文认为，可以洞悉用户的语言意识形态及其融洽的期望，可用于告知受众群体的语言和互动模式，并确保公平地访问机器人提供的服务。该论点的基础是三种数据的基础：与聊天机器人相互交互，促进健康约会预订，用户对其交互的内省评论以及用户的定性调查评论在与预订机器人交战后。最后，我将定义对话式AI的受众设计，并讨论如何以用户为中心的聊天机器人互动和社会语言知识的理论方法（例如融洽的理论管理）来支持受众设计。
