04121 Abstracts Collection – Evaluating Embodied Conversational Agents

Authors: Zsofia Ruttkay, Elisabeth André, W. Lewis Johnson, and Catherine Pelachaud

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4121, Evaluating Embodied Conversational Agents (2006)

Abstract
From 14.03.04 to 19.03.04, the Dagstuhl Seminar 04121 ``Evaluating Embodied Conversational Agents'' was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

Evaluating ECAs - What,how and why?

Authors: Zsofia Ruttkay, Claire Dormann, and Han Noot

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4121, Evaluating Embodied Conversational Agents (2006)

Abstract
One would like to rely on design guidelines for embodied conversational agents (ECAs), grounded on evaluation studies. How to define the physical and mental characteristics of an ECA, optimal for an envisioned application? What will be the added value of using an ECA? Although there have been studies addressing such issues, we are still far from getting a complete picture. This is not only due to the still relatively little experience with applications of ECAs, but also to the diversity in terms and experimental settings used. The lack of a common, established framework makes it difficult to compare ECAs, interpret evaluation results and judge their scope and relevance. In this paper we propose a common taxonomy of the relevant design and evaluation aspects of ECAs. We refer to recent works to elicit evaluation concepts and discuss measurement issues.
