Empirical Validation of an Accommodation Theory-Based Model of User-Agent Relationship
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a computational model of user-agent relationship based on accommodation theory, in which classes of relationship are defined by the set of activities the user is willing to perform with an agent. An implementation of this model is described that uses dialogue acts as the set of relationshipdefining activities, and manipulations of the model to increase user-agent intimacy over time. The implementation is integrated into a virtual agent that plays the role of an exercise counselor. Results from validation studies indicate that the implementation is successful at adapting to users’ desired intimacy level, but is not successful at increasing intimacy within the duration of the

متن کاملRevising in the relationship of social behavior and urban space within Islamic Vision (the concept of ideal user and his territory in original Islamic texts)
Identifying ideal user is a basic function of theoretical debates of urban design. Here, the situation of the concept of” Ideal user” is enquired in three main categories of social theories used in urban design discourses (i.e. socialistic theories, ecologistic ones and performance-based theories) and it is shown that none of them is of enough relevance to Islamic model of socio-spatial relati...
