ECA systems are generally complex and difficult for individual research groups to develop. Therefore, if there was a common framework for connecting ECA functioning blocks seamlessly to an integrated system, redundant effort can be saved. Th...

In human-computer interaction social behavior towards computers like flattery, reciprocity, and politeness have been observed [1]. In order to determine whether the results can be replicated when interacting with embodied conversational agents (ECA), we conducted an experimental study. 63 participants evaluated the ECA Max after a 10-minute conversation. The interview situation was manipulated ...

متن کاملComplementarity As Generative Principle: A Thought Pattern for Aesthetic Appreciations and Cognitive Appraisals in General
In experimental aesthetics the relationship between the arts and cognitive neuroscience has gained particular interest in recent years. But has cognitive neuroscience indeed something to offer when studying the arts? Here we present a theoretical frame within which the concept of complementarity as a generative or creative principle is proposed; neurocognitive processes are characterized by the...
متن کاملUsing a Painting Metaphor to Rate Large Numbers of Objects
When retrieving information from databases or search engines, or when configuring user profiles of information filtering systems, users have to describe what objects to retrieve. While some systems require users to describe their needs using textual input, other systems simplify the users’ task by proposing a set of items, so that the user’s task is reduced to picking or rating these items (e.g...
