Using Balance Theory to Understand Social Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an alternative way to evaluate ECAs, that is measurement of the agent’s influence on human relations. We applied the balance theory to the relationship between the agent and two people. We conducted an experiment to see the interaction between human relations and agent-human relations. The result of statistical and conversation analyses demonstrate that our evaluation method is useful to assess the agent’s ability to control its own social behavior appropriately as well as its communicative ability.
