{"pk":30977,"title":"Supporting Linguistic Consistency and Idiosyncracy with an Adaptive Interface Design","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Despite the goal to permit freedom of expression, natural language interfaces remain imable to recognize the full\nrange of language that occurs in spontaneously generated user input Simply increasing the linguistic coverage\nof a large, static interface is a poor solution; as coverage increases, response time decreases, regardless of\nwhether the extensions benefit any particular user. Instead, we propose that an adaptive interface be dedicated to\neach user. By automatically acquiring the idiosyncratic language of each individual, an adaptive interface\npermits greater freedom of expression while slowing system response only insofar as there is ambiguity in the\nindividual's language. The usefulness of adaptation relies on the presence of three regularities in users'\nlinguistic behaviors: within-user consistency, across-user variability, and limited user adaptability. W e show that\nthese behaviors are characteristic of users under conditions of frequent use.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Group 5: Cognition in Context","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/075214rb","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jill","middle_name":"Fain","last_name":"Lehman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1990-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30977/galley/20826/download/"}]}
