Intelligent agents have great potential as facilitators of group conversation among older adults. However, little is known about how to design agents for this purpose and user group, especially in terms of agent embodiment. To this end, we conducted a mixed methods study of older adults' reactions to voice and body in a group conversation facilitation agent. Two agent forms with the same underlying artificial intelligence (AI) and voice system were compared: a humanoid robot and a voice assistant. One preliminary study (total n=24) and one experimental study comparing voice and body morphologies (n=36) were conducted with older adults and an experienced human facilitator. Findings revealed that the artificiality of the agent, regardless of its form, was beneficial for the socially uncomfortable task of conversation facilitation. Even so, talkative personality types had a poorer experience with the "bodied" robot version. Design implications and supplementary reactions, especially to agent voice, are also discussed.

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。

在过去的几年中,围绕种族类人体机器人的有问题实践的讨论已经上升。为了彻底理解机器人在人类机器人互动(HRI)社区中如何理解机器人的“性别” - 即如何被操纵,在哪些环境中以及其对人们的看法和人们产生哪些影响的影响,为基础建立基础。与机器人的互动 - 我们对文献进行了范围的评论。我们确定了553篇与我们从5个不同数据库中检索的评论相关的论文。审查论文的最终样本包括2005年至2021年之间的35篇论文,其中涉及3902名参与者。在本文中,我们通过报告有关其性别的目标和假设的信息(即操纵性别的定义和理由),对机器人的“性别”(即性别提示和操纵检查),对性别的定义和理由进行彻底总结这些论文。 (例如,参与者的人口统计学,受雇的机器人)及其结果(即主要和互动效应)。该评论表明,机器人的“性别”不会影响HRI的关键构建,例如可爱和接受,而是对刻板印象产生最强烈的影响。我们利用社会机器人技术和性别研究中的不同认识论背景来提供有关审查结果的全面跨学科观点,并提出了在HRI领域前进的方法。

This article presents a survey of literature in the area of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), specifically on systems containing more than two agents (i.e., having multiple humans and/or multiple robots). We identify three core aspects of ``Multi-agent" HRI systems that are useful for understanding how these systems differ from dyadic systems and from one another. These are the Team structure, Interaction style among agents, and the system's Computational characteristics. Under these core aspects, we present five attributes of HRI systems, namely Team size, Team composition, Interaction model, Communication modalities, and Robot control. These attributes are used to characterize and distinguish one system from another. We populate resulting categories with examples from recent literature along with a brief discussion of their applications and analyze how these attributes differ from the case of dyadic human-robot systems. We summarize key observations from the current literature, and identify challenges and promising areas for future research in this domain. In order to realize the vision of robots being part of the society and interacting seamlessly with humans, there is a need to expand research on multi-human -- multi-robot systems. Not only do these systems require coordination among several agents, they also involve multi-agent and indirect interactions which are absent from dyadic HRI systems. Adding multiple agents in HRI systems requires advanced interaction schemes, behavior understanding and control methods to allow natural interactions among humans and robots. In addition, research on human behavioral understanding in mixed human-robot teams also requires more attention. This will help formulate and implement effective robot control policies in HRI systems with large numbers of heterogeneous robots and humans; a team composition reflecting many real-world scenarios.

在这里,我询问我们可以了解如何了解性别如何影响人们如何与机器人互动。我回顾了2018年或更早发布的46个社会机器人的实证研究,报告了其参与者的性别,机器人的感知或预期性别,或两者兼而有之,并对参与者或机器人性别进行了一些分析。从这些研究中,我发现机器人默认被认为是男性,机器人吸收了人类的性别刻板印象,并且男性倾向于比女性更多地与机器人互动。我强调了关于年轻参与者中这种性别影响如何有何不同的开放问题,以及是否应该寻求将机器人的性别与参与者的性别相匹配,以确保积极的互动结果。我的结论是建议未来的研究应:包括性别多样化的参与者池,包括非二进制参与者,依靠自我认同来辨别性别而不是研究人员的感知,控制已知的性别协变量,测试有关性​​别的不同研究结果,并测试使用的机器人是否被参与者视为性别。我包括一个附录,其中包含46篇论文中每一篇与性别相关的发现的叙述摘要,以帮助未来的文学评论。

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.

农业面临着劳动危机,导致人们对小型,伪造机器人(AGBOTS)的兴趣增加,这些机器人可以执行精确的,有针对性的行动(例如,农作物侦察,除草,受精),同时由人类操作员进行监督。但是,农民不一定是机器人技术方面的专家,也不会采用增加其工作量的技术或不提供立即回报的技术。在这项工作中,我们探讨了远程人类操作员与多个Agbot之间进行通信的方法,并研究音频通信对操作员的偏好和生产率的影响。我们开发了一个模拟平台,在该平台中,AGBOT在一个字段中部署,随机遇到故障,并呼吁操作员寻求帮助。随着AGBOTS报告错误,测试了各种音频通信机制,以传达哪种机器人失败以及发生了什么类型的故障。人类的任务是在完成次要任务时口头诊断失败。进行了一项用户研究,以测试三种音频通信方法:耳塞,单短语命令和完整的句子通信。每个参与者都完成了一项调查,以确定他们的偏好和每种方法的总体效率。我们的结果表明,使用单个短语的系统是参与者最积极的看法,可以使人更有效地完成次要任务。该代码可在以下网址获得:https://github.com/akamboj2/agbot-sim。

Human operators in human-robot teams are commonly perceived to be critical for mission success. To explore the direct and perceived impact of operator input on task success and team performance, 16 real-world missions (10 hrs) were conducted based on the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. These missions were to deploy a heterogeneous team of robots for a search task to locate and identify artifacts such as climbing rope, drills and mannequins representing human survivors. Two conditions were evaluated: human operators that could control the robot team with state-of-the-art autonomy (Human-Robot Team) compared to autonomous missions without human operator input (Robot-Autonomy). Human-Robot Teams were often in directed autonomy mode (70% of mission time), found more items, traversed more distance, covered more unique ground, and had a higher time between safety-related events. Human-Robot Teams were faster at finding the first artifact, but slower to respond to information from the robot team. In routine conditions, scores were comparable for artifacts, distance, and coverage. Reasons for intervention included creating waypoints to prioritise high-yield areas, and to navigate through error-prone spaces. After observing robot autonomy, operators reported increases in robot competency and trust, but that robot behaviour was not always transparent and understandable, even after high mission performance.

机器人正在旨在以乐于谨慎的方式与各种公共和国内场地的人沟通。在这里,我们使用一种推测方法在机器人隐写术(RS)的新概念上闪耀光线,即机器人可以通过谨慎地警告潜在的威胁来帮助脆弱的群体。我们首先识别与安全和安全相关的卢比有关的一些有用情景 - 据估计每年造成世界十亿美元的担忧 - 专注于两种机器人,自主车辆(AV)和社会辅助人形机器人(SAR)。接下来,我们提出现有,强大,基于计算机的书光(CS)方法可以在新的上下文(SARS)中几乎没有努力,同时也指出人类定位术(HS)的潜在好处:虽然较低且稳健比CS,HS代表了目前未使用的RS形式,其也可用于避免需要计算机或通过更高级的对手进行检测。该分析还引入了来自留言生成,间接感知和视角影响的卢比的一些独特挑战。为此,我们探讨了选择载波信号和生成消息的一些相关的理论和实践问题,也可以提供一些代码和视频演示。最后,我们报告了通过简化的用户学习检查RS概念的当前可行性,确认消息可以隐藏在机器人的行为中。立即暗示的是,卢比可以帮助改善人们的生命,并减轻一些昂贵的问题 - 表明进一步讨论,想象力和设计师审议的有用性。

Gender/ing guides how we view ourselves, the world around us, and each other--including non-humans. Critical voices have raised the alarm about stereotyped gendering in the design of socially embodied artificial agents like voice assistants, conversational agents, and robots. Yet, little is known about how this plays out in research and to what extent. As a first step, we critically reviewed the case of Pepper, a gender-ambiguous humanoid robot. We conducted a systematic review (n=75) involving meta-synthesis and content analysis, examining how participants and researchers gendered Pepper through stated and unstated signifiers and pronoun usage. We found that ascriptions of Pepper's gender were inconsistent, limited, and at times discordant, with little evidence of conscious gendering and some indication of researcher influence on participant gendering. We offer six challenges driving the state of affairs and a practical framework coupled with a critical checklist for centering gender in research on artificial agents.

There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to make their algorithms more understandable. Much of this research is focused on explicitly explaining decisions or actions to a human observer, and it should not be controversial to say that looking at how humans explain to each other can serve as a useful starting point for explanation in artificial intelligence. However, it is fair to say that most work in explainable artificial intelligence uses only the researchers' intuition of what constitutes a 'good' explanation. There exists vast and valuable bodies of research in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science of how people define, generate, select, evaluate, and present explanations, which argues that people employ certain cognitive biases and social expectations towards the explanation process. This paper argues that the field of explainable artificial intelligence should build on this existing research, and reviews relevant papers from philosophy, cognitive psychology/science, and social psychology, which study these topics. It draws out some important findings, and discusses ways that these can be infused with work on explainable artificial intelligence.

事实证明,在学习环境中,社会智能代理(SIA)的部署在不同的应用领域具有多个优势。社会代理创作工具使场景设计师能够创造出对SIAS行为的高度控制的量身定制体验,但是,另一方面,这是有代价的,因为该方案及其创作的复杂性可能变得霸道。在本文中,我们介绍了可解释的社会代理创作工具的概念,目的是分析社会代理的创作工具是否可以理解和解释。为此,我们检查了创作工具Fatima-Toolkit是否可以理解,并且从作者的角度来看,其创作步骤可以解释。我们进行了两项用户研究,以定量评估Fatima-Toolkit的解释性,可理解性和透明度,从场景设计师的角度来看。关键发现之一是,法蒂玛 - 库尔基特(Fatima-Toolkit)的概念模型通常是可以理解的,但是基于情感的概念并不那么容易理解和使用。尽管关于Fatima-Toolkit的解释性有一些积极的方面,但仍需要取得进展,以实现完全可以解释的社会代理商创作工具。我们提供一组关键概念和可能的解决方案,可以指导开发人员构建此类工具。

Explainable AI (XAI) is widely viewed as a sine qua non for ever-expanding AI research. A better understanding of the needs of XAI users, as well as human-centered evaluations of explainable models are both a necessity and a challenge. In this paper, we explore how HCI and AI researchers conduct user studies in XAI applications based on a systematic literature review. After identifying and thoroughly analyzing 85 core papers with human-based XAI evaluations over the past five years, we categorize them along the measured characteristics of explanatory methods, namely trust, understanding, fairness, usability, and human-AI team performance. Our research shows that XAI is spreading more rapidly in certain application domains, such as recommender systems than in others, but that user evaluations are still rather sparse and incorporate hardly any insights from cognitive or social sciences. Based on a comprehensive discussion of best practices, i.e., common models, design choices, and measures in user studies, we propose practical guidelines on designing and conducting user studies for XAI researchers and practitioners. Lastly, this survey also highlights several open research directions, particularly linking psychological science and human-centered XAI.
