{ "pk": 26699, "title": "Exploring the Use of Conversations with Virtual Agents in Assessment Contexts", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Conversations with computer agents can be used to measure skills that may be difficult to accomplish using tra-ditional multiple-choice assessments. In order to achieve natural conversations in this form of assessment, we are exploringissues related to how test-takers interact with computer agents, such as what dialogue moves lead to interpretable responses,the influence of “cognitive characteristics” of computer agents, how should the system adapt to test-taker responses, and howthese interactions impact test-taker emotions and affect. In this presentation we will discuss our current research addressingthese questions, illustrating important dimensions that are involved with designing a conversation space and how each designdecision can impact multiple factors within assessment contexts.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Member Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2rh0c162", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Diego", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Zapata-Rivera", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "G.", "middle_name": "Tanner", "last_name": "Jackson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Irvin", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Katz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26699/galley/16335/download/" } ] }
