Voice assistants in future autonomous vehicles may play a major role in supporting the driver during periods of a transfer of control with the vehicle (handover and handback). However, little is known about the effects of different qualities of the voice assistant on its perceived acceptability, and thus its potential to support the driver’s trust in the vehicle. A desktop study was carried out with 18 participants, investigating the effects of three gendered voices and different wording of prompts during handover and handback driving scenarios on measures of acceptability. Participants rated prompts by the voice assistant in nine different driving scenarios, using 5-point Likert style items in a during and post-study questionnaire as well as a short interview at the end. A commanding/formally worded prompt was rated higher on most of the desirable measures of acceptability as compared to an informally worded prompt. The ‘Matthew’ voice used was perceived to be less artificial and more desirable than the ‘Joanna’ voice and the gender-ambiguous ‘Jordan’ voice; however, we caution against interpreting these results as indicative of a general preference of gender, and instead discuss our results to throw light on the complex socio-phonetic nature of voices (including gender) and wording of voice assistants, and the need for careful consideration while designing the same. Results gained facilitate the drawing of insights needed to take better care when designing the voice and wording for voice assistants in future autonomous vehicles.
在未来的自动驾驶汽车中,语音助手可能会在与车辆的控制权转移(交接和移交)期间为驾驶员提供支持。然而,关于语音助手的不同品质对其感知可接受性的影响,以及其支持驾驶员对车辆信任的潜力,我们知之甚少。在一项有18名参与者参与的桌面研究中,研究了在交接和倒手驾驶场景中,三种不同性别的声音和不同措辞的提示对可接受性的影响。参与者在九种不同的驾驶场景中对语音助手的提示进行评分,在学习期间和学习后的问卷调查中使用5分李克特风格的项目,并在最后进行简短的采访。与非正式措辞的提示相比,命令/正式措辞的提示在大多数可接受性的理想指标上被评为更高。使用“马修”的声音被认为比“乔安娜”的声音和性别模糊的“乔丹”的声音更不做作,更令人满意;然而,我们警告不要将这些结果解释为表明性别的普遍偏好,而是讨论我们的结果,以阐明声音(包括性别)和语音助手措辞的复杂社会语音性质,以及在设计语音助手时仔细考虑的必要性。获得的结果有助于在设计未来自动驾驶汽车语音助手的语音和措辞时更好地注意所需的见解。

In the 2020s, world countries are called to take action to solve global issues, as defined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In our research, we are interested in exploring how Conversational Agents can be exploited to pursue the above goals, particularly in domestic spaces where CAs are becoming more and more popular. As a preliminary step in this research work, we organized a focus group with seven participants aimed at: i) investigating the potential of Conversational Agents - integrated with digital devices - to promote a more sustainable behavior at home; ii) eliciting the requirements on conversational interaction that such CAs should meet for this purpose. From the experience and findings of the focus group, we distilled a conceptual framework called CANDY, which highlights the core design dimension of Conversational Agents for Sustainability, and can be used to guide the processes of requirements elicitation and design for this category of CAs.
在21世纪20年代,世界各国被呼吁采取行动,解决可持续发展目标(SDG)中定义的全球问题。在我们的研究中,我们感兴趣的是探索如何利用会话代理来实现上述目标,特别是在ca越来越受欢迎的家庭空间中。作为这项研究工作的第一步,我们组织了一个有7名参与者的焦点小组,目的是:i)调查与数字设备集成的会话代理的潜力,以促进更可持续的家庭行为;ii)引出这些核证机关为此目的应符合的对话互动要求。从焦点小组的经验和发现中,我们提炼出一个称为CANDY的概念框架,它突出了可持续性对话代理的核心设计维度,并可用于指导这类ca的需求引出和设计过程。

Conversational Agents Trust Calibration: A User-Centred Perspective to Design 会话代理信任校准:以用户为中心的设计视角

Previous work identified trust as one of the key requirements for adoption and continued use of conversational agents (CAs). Given recent advances in natural language processing and deep learning, it is currently possible to execute simple goal-oriented tasks by using voice. As CAs start to provide a gateway for purchasing products and booking services online, the question of trust and its impact on users’ reliance and agency becomes ever-more pertinent. This paper collates trust-related literature and proposes four design suggestions that are illustrated through example conversations. Our goal is to encourage discussion on ethical design practices to develop CAs that are capable of employing trust-calibration techniques that should, when relevant, reduce the user’s trust in the agent. We hope that our reflections, based on the synthesis of insights from the fields of human-agent interaction, explainable ai, and information retrieval, can serve as a reminder of the dangers of excessive trust in automation and contribute to more user-centred CA design.
以前的工作将信任确定为采用和继续使用会话代理(ca)的关键需求之一。鉴于自然语言处理和深度学习的最新进展,目前可以通过语音执行简单的目标导向任务。随着认证机构开始提供在线购买产品和预订服务的入口,信任问题及其对用户信赖和代理的影响变得越来越重要。本文整理了与信任相关的文献,并提出了四个设计建议,并通过实例对话加以说明。我们的目标是鼓励对道德设计实践的讨论,以开发能够使用信任校准技术的ca,这些技术应该在相关时降低用户对代理的信任。我们希望我们的反思,基于对人类代理交互、可解释人工智能和信息检索领域的综合见解,可以提醒人们过度信任自动化的危险,并有助于更以用户为中心的CA设计。

The next major evolutionary stage for voice assistants will be their capability to initiate interactions by themselves. However, to design proactive interactions, it is crucial to understand whether and when this behaviour is considered useful and how desirable it is perceived for different social contexts or ongoing activities. To investigate people’s perspectives on proactivity and appropriate circumstances for it, we designed a set of storyboards depicting a variety of proactive actions in everyday situations and social settings and presented them to 15 participants in interactive interviews. Our findings suggest that, although many participants see benefits in agent proactivity, such as for urgent or critical issues, there are concerns about interference with social activities in multi-party settings, potential loss of agency, and intrusiveness. We discuss our implications for designing voice assistants with desirable proactive features.
语音助手的下一个主要进化阶段将是它们自己发起互动的能力。然而,要设计主动互动,关键是要了解这种行为是否以及何时被认为是有用的,以及它在不同的社会背景或正在进行的活动中被认为是多么可取。为了调查人们对主动性和适当环境的看法,我们设计了一套故事板,描绘了日常情况和社会环境中的各种主动性行为,并在互动访谈中向15名参与者展示了这些行为。我们的研究结果表明,尽管许多参与者看到了代理主动性的好处,比如在紧急或关键问题上,但也存在对多方环境中社交活动的干扰、潜在的代理丧失和侵入性的担忧。我们讨论了我们对设计具有理想主动功能的语音助手的启示。

Assistant or Master: Envisioning the User Autonomy Implications of Virtual Assistants 助理或大师:设想虚拟助理的用户自治含义

Virtual assistants (VA) such as Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant are becoming increasingly popular. Recent literature has argued that VAs may raise ethical concerns for users’ autonomy. However, there is a lack of frameworks which can unite the wide range of autonomy concerns discussed in literature, as well as help designers envision the ethical implications of emerging VA technologies. This paper argues that designers and policymakers need to be sensitive to the ethical side of the future of virtual assistants, and systematic frameworks are required to aid their moral imagination. The paper proposes a framework to help designers imagine potential ethical concerns pertaining to users’ autonomy. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework by showing how existing ethical concerns can be situated within the framework. We also use the framework to imagine ethical concerns with emerging VA technologies. The proposed framework can aid in systematic identification of autonomy related ethical concerns within human computer interactions.
Alexa、Siri、Google Assistant等虚拟助手(VA)越来越受欢迎。最近的文献认为,人工智能可能会引发对用户自主性的伦理担忧。然而,缺乏框架可以统一文献中讨论的广泛的自治问题,并帮助设计师设想新兴的自动驾驶技术的伦理影响。本文认为,设计师和政策制定者需要对未来虚拟助手的道德方面保持敏感,并需要系统框架来帮助他们的道德想象。本文提出了一个框架,以帮助设计师想象与用户自主权有关的潜在伦理问题。我们通过展示如何将现有的伦理问题置于框架内来证明拟议框架的有用性。我们还使用这个框架来想象新兴的人工智能技术的伦理问题。提出的框架可以帮助系统地识别人机交互中与自治相关的伦理问题。

Scarcity of user data continues to be a problem in research on conversational user interfaces and often hinders or slows down technical innovation. In the past, different ways of synthetically generating data, such as data augmentation techniques have been explored. With the rise of ever improving pre-trained language models, we ask if we can go beyond such methods by simply providing appropriate prompts to these general purpose models to generate data. We explore the feasibility and cost-benefit trade-offs of using non fine-tuned synthetic data to train classification algorithms for conversational agents. We compare this synthetically generated data with real user data and evaluate the performance of classifiers trained on different combinations of synthetic and real data. We come to the conclusion that, although classifiers trained on such synthetic data perform much better than random baselines, they do not compare to the performance of classifiers trained on even very small amounts of real user data, largely because such data is lacking much of the variability found in user generated data. Nevertheless, we show that in situations where very little data and resources are available, classifiers trained on such synthetically generated data might be preferable to the collection and annotation of naturalistic data.
用户数据的缺乏仍然是会话用户界面研究中的一个问题,并且经常阻碍或减缓技术创新。过去,人们探索了不同的综合生成数据的方法,如数据增强技术。随着不断改进的预训练语言模型的兴起,我们问是否可以通过简单地为这些通用模型提供适当的提示来生成数据,从而超越这些方法。我们探讨了使用非微调合成数据来训练会话代理分类算法的可行性和成本效益权衡。我们将合成生成的数据与真实用户数据进行比较,并评估在合成数据和真实数据的不同组合上训练的分类器的性能。我们得出的结论是,尽管在这些合成数据上训练的分类器比随机基线表现得好得多,但它们的性能无法与在非常少量的真实用户数据上训练的分类器进行比较,这主要是因为这些数据缺乏在用户生成数据中发现的许多可变性。然而,我们表明,在可用数据和资源非常少的情况下,在这种合成生成的数据上训练的分类器可能比自然数据的收集和注释更可取。

Most of us have chatted with a chatbot before and remember frustrating experiences. Research shows that friendly and empathetic communication can compensate for existing communication problems. We therefore conducted a study to investigate whether the use of emoticons leads to higher user satisfaction when communicating with a chatbot. The use case was a chatbot recommending courses on a German e-learning platform. The results did not reach significance, but show a positive trend, which leads to indications of what future research should investigate.
我们大多数人以前都和聊天机器人聊过,并记得令人沮丧的经历。研究表明,友好和感同身受的沟通可以弥补现有的沟通问题。因此,我们进行了一项研究,调查在与聊天机器人交流时,表情符号的使用是否会提高用户的满意度。用例是在德国电子学习平台上推荐课程的聊天机器人。研究结果没有达到显著的意义,但显示出积极的趋势,这导致了未来研究应该调查的迹象。

Unifying Recommender Systems and Conversational User Interfaces 统一推荐系统和会话用户界面
Pub Date : 2022-07-26 DOI: 10.1145/3543829.3544524
A. Starke, Minha Lee
This paper considers unifying research on conversational user interfaces and recommender systems. Studies on conversational user interfaces (CUIs) typically examine how conversations can be facilitated (i.e., optimizing the means). Recommender systems research (RecSys) aims to retrieve and present recommendations in a user’s session (i.e., optimizing the ends). Though these aims are overlapping across both areas, they can be better examined together to target the means and ends of what people can achieve with technology as conversational recommender systems (CRSs). We discuss the intersection of conversational user interfaces, recommender systems, and conversational recommender systems. We argue how conversations and recommendations can be designed holistically, in which recommendations can also be a means to foster engaging conversational interaction, while conversations as ends can better sustain curated, long-term recommendations.
本文考虑了会话用户界面和推荐系统的统一研究。对会话用户界面(gui)的研究通常考察如何促进对话(即优化手段)。推荐系统研究(RecSys)的目标是在用户会话中检索和呈现推荐(即优化终端)。虽然这些目标在这两个领域是重叠的,但它们可以更好地结合在一起,以确定人们可以通过对话推荐系统(CRSs)技术实现的手段和目的。我们讨论会话式用户界面、推荐系统和会话式推荐系统的交集。我们讨论了如何从整体上设计对话和推荐,其中推荐也可以作为促进引人入胜的对话互动的手段,而对话作为目的可以更好地维持精心策划的长期推荐。

Leakage of Sensitive Information to Third-Party Voice Applications 敏感信息泄露给第三方语音应用
Pub Date : 2022-07-26 DOI: 10.1145/3543829.3544520

In this paper we investigate the issue of sensitive information leakage to third-party voice applications in voice assistant ecosystems. We focus specifically on leakage of sensitive information via the conversational interface. We use a bespoke testing infrastructure to investigate leakage of sensitive information via the conversational interface of Google Actions and Alexa Skills. Our work augments prior work in this area to consider not only specific categories of personal data, but also other types of potentially sensitive information that may be disclosed in voice-based interactions with third-party voice applications. Our findings indicate that current privacy and security measures for third-party voice applications are not sufficient to prevent leakage of all types of sensitive information via the conversational interface. We make key recommendations for the redesign of voice assistant architectures to better prevent leakage of sensitive information via the conversational interface of third-party voice applications in the future.
本文研究了语音助手生态系统中第三方语音应用的敏感信息泄露问题。我们特别关注通过会话接口泄露的敏感信息。我们使用定制的测试基础设施来调查通过Google Actions和Alexa Skills的会话界面泄露的敏感信息。我们的工作扩大了之前在这一领域的工作,不仅考虑了特定类别的个人数据,还考虑了在与第三方语音应用程序的基于语音的交互中可能泄露的其他类型的潜在敏感信息。我们的研究结果表明,目前第三方语音应用程序的隐私和安全措施不足以防止通过会话界面泄露所有类型的敏感信息。我们对语音助手架构的重新设计提出了关键建议,以更好地防止未来通过第三方语音应用程序的会话界面泄露敏感信息。

Conversational user interfaces (CUIs) are a promising interaction modality to engage people with self-report activities that are widely used to study people’s experiences and support them with their mental health. However, this potential is limited by the prevailing CUI interaction paradigm being subservience to the user, which constrains self-reporting to being user initiated. A more effective approach would be for CUIs to proactively engage users with self-reporting, particularly at opportune moments. This paper proposes that joint action theory, specifically joint commitment, can be an effective framework to support designers in designing effective proactive CUI interactions. Using mood logging as a use case, we highlight three key areas where joint commitment can impact proactive CUI design. We also discuss wider challenges and future areas of research needed to identify the opportunities and challenges of using joint commitment within proactive CUI research and development.
会话用户界面(CUIs)是一种很有前途的交互方式,可以让人们参与自我报告活动,广泛用于研究人们的经历,并为他们的心理健康提供支持。然而,这种潜力受到流行的CUI交互范例的限制,因为它服从于用户,这将自我报告限制为用户发起的。更有效的方法是让ui主动让用户参与自我报告,特别是在适当的时候。本文提出联合行动理论,特别是联合承诺,可以作为一个有效的框架来支持设计师设计有效的主动CUI交互。使用情绪日志作为用例,我们强调了联合承诺可以影响主动CUI设计的三个关键领域。我们还讨论了更广泛的挑战和未来的研究领域,以确定在主动CUI研究和开发中使用联合承诺的机会和挑战。
