Accounting for Chance Agreement in Gesture Elicitation Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The level of agreement among participants is a key aspect of gesture elicitation studies, and it is typically quantified by means of agreement rates (AR). We show that this measure is problematic, as it does not account for chance agreement. The problem of chance agreement has been extensively discussed in a range of scientific fields in the context of inter-rater reliability studies. We review chance-corrected agreement coefficients that are routinely used in inter-reliability studies and show how to apply them to gesture elicitation studies. We also discuss how to compute interval estimates for these coefficients and how to use them for statistical inference.

Toward Natural Gesture/Speech Control of a Large Display
In recent years because of the advances in computer vision research, free hand gestures have been explored as means of human-computer interaction (HCI). Together with improved speech processing technology it is an important step toward natural multimodal HCI. However, inclusion of non-predefined continuous gestures into a multimodal framework is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose ...
متن کاملGesture Elicitation Study on How to Opt-in & Opt-out from Interactions with Large Public Displays
Compared to interfaces with conventional input devices (e.g. touchscreen) where beginning and end of an interaction is easy to manipulate by the users, an interactive system with a gesture-capturing camera often lacks to allow passers-by this choice as its body tracking is continuously running. This paper explores how people could use gestures to explicitly express their wish to commence an int...
متن کاملGesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity
The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...
متن کاملHierarchy and scope of planning in subject-verb agreement production.
Two subject-verb agreement error elicitation studies tested the hierarchical feature-passing account of agreement computation in production and three timing-based alternatives: linear distance to the head noun, semantic integration, and a combined effect of both (a scope of planning account). In Experiment 1, participants completed subject noun phrase (NP) stimuli consisting of a head NP follow...
متن کاملNarrative processing in typically developing children and children with early unilateral brain injury: seeing gesture matters.
Narrative skill in kindergarteners has been shown to be a reliable predictor of later reading comprehension and school achievement. However, we know little about how to scaffold children's narrative skill. Here we examine whether the quality of kindergarten children's narrative retellings depends on the kind of narrative elicitation they are given. We asked this question with respect to typical...
