A critiquing system helps designers improve their design artifacts by providing feedback. Computer-aided critiquing systems have been built in many fields and provide us with useful lessons. In this paper we analyze existing critiquing systems in terms of (1) critiquing process, (2) critiquing rules, and (3) intervention techniques. Based on this analysis, we suggest new research directions for...

We describe the critiquing approach to building knowledge-based interactive systems. Critiquing supports computer users in their problem solving and learning activities. The challenges for the next generation of knowledge-based systems provide a context for the development of this paradigm. We discuss critics from the perspective of overcoming the problems of high-functionality computer systems...

Critiquing systems check for weaknesses in the user's solution and may suggest corrections. Although their usefulness was first emphasized in diagnostic domains [6], the main success of knowledge based critiquing systems have been in design applications [4, 13]. While in the latter a deep understanding is often not necessary for critiquing purposes, in complex diagnostic domains the capability ...

We describe a user study evaluating two critiquing-based recommender agents based on three criteria: decision accuracy, decision effort, and user confidence. Results show that user-motivated critiques were more frequently applied and the example critiquing system employing only this type of critiques achieved the best results. In particular, the example critiquing agent significantly improves u...

Individualized feedback is an important factor in fostering learning. However, it is often not seen in schools because providing it places considerable additional workload on teachers. One way to solve this problem is to employ critiquing systems. These systems, however, require significant development effort before they can be put into use. In this article, we describe an incremental authoring...

Critiquing is an important form of feedback in conversational recommender systems. However, in these systems the user is usually limited to critiquing a single product feature at a time. Recently dynamic critiquing has been proposed to address this shortcoming, by automatically generating compound critiques over multiple features that may be presented to the user at recommendation time. To date...
