Crowd-Sourced Design of Artificial Attentive Listeners

چکیده
Feedback generation is an important component of humanhuman communication. Humans can choose to signal support, understanding, agreement or also sceptiscism by means of feedback tokens. Many studies have focused on the timing of feedback behaviours. In the current study, however, we keep the timing constant and instead focus on the lexical form and prosody of feedback tokens as well as their sequential patterns. For this we crowdsourced participant’s feedback behaviour in identical interactional contexts in order to model a virtual agent that is able to provide feedback as an attentive/supportive as well as attentive/sceptical listener. The resulting models were realised in a robot which was evaluated by third-party observers.

Improving Perceptual Tempo Estimation with Crowd-Sourced Annotations
We report the design and results of a web-based experiment intended to support the development and evaluation of tempo estimation algorithms, in which users tap to music and select descriptive labels. Analysis of the tapping data and labels chosen shows that, while different listeners frequently entrain to different metrical levels for some pieces, they rarely disagree about which pieces are fa...

The growing ubiquity of a variety of personal connected computational devices – each with a number of sensors – has created the opportunity for a wide range of crowd-sourced services. A busy professional could find a restaurant to go to for a quick lunch based on information available from smartphones of other people already there. Sensors on smartphones could detect whether their owners are ha...
متن کاملThe Crowd vs. the Lab: A Comparison of Crowd-Sourced and University Laboratory Participant Behavior
There are considerable differences in remuneration and environment between crowd-sourced workers and the traditional laboratory study participant. If crowd-sourced participants are to be used for information retrieval user studies, we need to know if and to what extent their behavior on information retrieval tasks differs from the accepted standard of laboratory participants. With both crowd-so...
متن کاملCSSWare: An Actor-Based Middleware for Mobile Crowd-Sourced Services
The growing ubiquity of personal connected devices – each with a number of sensors – has created the opportunity for a wide range of crowd-sourced services. Although the programming required for offering new services can be significant if done from scratch, we identify core communication mechanisms underlying such services, and implement them in a middleware, CSSWare. Service designers can then...
متن کاملActive Learning for Crowd-Sourced Databases
Crowd-sourcing has become a popular means of acquiring labeled data for many tasks where humans are more accurate than computers, such as image tagging, entity resolution, or sentiment analysis. However, due to the time and cost of human labor, solutions that solely rely on crowd-sourcing are often limited to small datasets (i.e., a few thousand items). This paper proposes algorithms for integr...
