Describing faces: conventionalizing ontologies through dialogic interaction

INTRODUCTION • Although we are highly efficient at recognizing faces, we find it remarkably difficult to describe them to others, posing a challenge for forensic sciences. • This difficulty stems in part from the problem of expressing configural information about faces in words. • Previous research has shown that when interlocutors encounter a domain for which they have only vague descriptions,...

Spatiotemporal Aspects of Engagement during Dialogic Storytelling Child–Robot Interaction

The success of robotic agents in close proximity of humans depends on their capacity to engage in social interactions and maintain these interactions over periods of time that are suitable for learning. A critical requirement is the ability to modify the behavior of the robot contingently to the attentional and social cues signaled by the human. A benchmark challenge for an engaging social robo...

Extending the Conversation: Qualitative Research as Dialogic Collaborative Process

Collaborative research often refers to collaboration among the researcher and the participants. Few studies investigate the collaborative process among researchers themselves. Assumptions about the qualitative research process, particularly ways to establish rigor and transparency, are pervasive. Our experience conducting three collaborative empirical research studies challenged and transformed...

Representing dialogic argumentation

Dialogic argumentation is a crucial component in many computational domains, and forms a core component of argumentation theory. This paper compares two approaches to dialogue that have grown from two different disciplines; the descriptive–normative approach of applied philosophy, and the formal, implemented approach of computer science. The commonalities between the approaches are explored in ...
