聊天机器人的社交和情感礼仪:了解用户需求和期望的定性方法

Social and Emotional Etiquette of Chatbots: A Qualitative Approach to Understanding User Needs and Expectations

Ekaterina Svikhnushina, Pearl Pu

摘要:

随着聊天机器人越来越受欢迎,我们经常想知道用户认为与他们互动的自然和社会接受的方式是什么。一些研究人员坚持认为,人类应该避免与聊天机器人进行情感对话,而其他人则开始使用最新的深度学习技术来构建具有同理心的聊天机器。为了了解聊天机器人是否应该理解和表达情感,我们对18名参与者进行了半结构化采访。我们的分析揭示了他们对有情感意识的代理人的总体热情。更重要的是,用户接受情感聊天机器人的意图似乎取决于这些代理如何回应我们的特定情绪,而不仅仅是检测人类情绪的能力。我们的研究结果还揭示了情感智能技术可以改善用户体验的特定应用领域。最后,我们总结了一组情感交互模式,这些模式激发了用户采用此类技术的意图,并为情感智能聊天机器人的开发提供了有用的指导方针。

英文摘要:

As chatbots are becoming increasingly popular, we often wonder what users perceive as natural and socially accepted manners of interacting with them. Some researchers maintain that humans should avoid engaging in emotional conversations with chatbots, while others have started building empathetic chatting machines using the latest deep learning techniques. To understand if chatbots should comprehend and display emotions, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 participants. Our analysis revealed their overall enthusiasm towards emotionally aware agents. More importantly, users' intention to accept emotional chatbots seem to hinge on how these agents respond to our specific emotions, rather than just the ability to detect human emotions. Our findings also disclosed the specific application domains where emotionally intelligent technology could improve user experience. To conclude, we summarized a set of emotion interaction patterns that inspire users' intention to adopt such technology as well as guidelines useful for the development of emotionally intelligent chatbots.
