Thinking Outside the Box: Co-planning Scientific Presentations with Virtual Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral presentations are central to scientific communication, yet the quality of many scientific presentations is poor. To improve presentation quality, scientists need to invest greater effort in the creative design of presentation content. We present AceTalk, a presentation planning system supported by a virtual assistant. This assistant motivates and collaborates with users in a structured brainstorming process to explore engaging presentation structures and content types. Our study of AceTalk demonstrates the potential of human-agent collaboration to facilitate the design of audience-centered presentations, while highlighting the need for rich modelling of audiences, presenters and talk contexts.

متن کاملPlanning with Pixels in (Almost) Real Time
Recently, width-based planning methods have been shown to yield state-of-the-art results in the Atari 2600 video games. For this, the states were associated with the (RAM) memory states of the simulator. In this work, we consider the same planning problem but using the screen instead. By using the same visual inputs, the planning results can be compared with those of humans and learning methods...
متن کاملTopical Use of Nitrates, Capsaicin, and Tricyclic Antidepressants for Pain Management*
Most physicians who treat pain recognize that it is a difficult and inexact area of medicine. Many patients seem to be resistant to conventionally available agents and, therefore, thinking “outside of the box” becomes a matter of clinical necessity. This necessity has prompted some investigators to test agents that may not be conventionally regarded as analgesics to determine evidence of their ...
متن کاملUnikernel Monitors: Extending Minimalism Outside of the Box
Recently, unikernels have emerged as an exploration of minimalist software stacks to improve the security of applications in the cloud. In this paper, we propose extending the notion of minimalism beyond an individual virtual machine to include the underlying monitor and the interface it exposes. We propose unikernel monitors. Each unikernel is bundled with a tiny, specialized monitor that only...
