面向可解释的社会Agent创作工具--以FAtiMA-Toolkit为例
Towards Explainable Social Agent Authoring tools: A case study on FAtiMA-Toolkit
摘要：
社会智能代理（SIAs）在学习环境中的部署已被证明在不同的应用领域有几个优势。社交代理创作工具允许场景设计者创建定制的体验，对SIAs行为进行高度控制，然而，另一方面，这是有代价的，因为场景的复杂性及其创作可能变得过于霸道。在本文中，我们介绍了可解释的社会代理创作工具的概念，分析的目标是社会代理的创作工具是可以理解和解释的。为此，我们研究是否一个创作工具，FAtiMA工具包，是可以理解的，其创作步骤解释，从作者的角度来看。我们进行了两个用户研究，定量评估的解释性，可理解性和透明度的FAtiMA-Toolkit从场景设计师的角度。主要发现之一是，FAtiMA-Toolkit的概念模型一般来说是可以理解的，但是作者并不容易理解和使用基于情感的概念。尽管FAtiMA-Toolkit的可解释性有一些积极的方面，但要实现一个完全可解释的社会代理创作工具，仍然需要取得进展。我们提供了一组关键概念和可能的解决方案，可以指导开发人员构建这样的工具。
英文摘要：
The deployment of Socially Intelligent Agents (SIAs) in learning environments has proven to have several advantages in different areas of application. Social Agent Authoring Tools allow scenario designers to create tailored experiences with high control over SIAs behaviour, however, on the flip side, this comes at a cost as the complexity of the scenarios and its authoring can become overbearing. In this paper we introduce the concept of Explainable Social Agent Authoring Tools with the goal of analysing if authoring tools for social agents are understandable and interpretable. To this end we examine whether an authoring tool, FAtiMA-Toolkit, is understandable and its authoring steps interpretable, from the point-of-view of the author. We conducted two user studies to quantitatively assess the Interpretability, Comprehensibility and Transparency of FAtiMA-Toolkit from the perspective of a scenario designer. One of the key findings is the fact that FAtiMA-Toolkit's conceptual model is, in general, understandable, however the emotional-based concepts were not as easily understood and used by the authors. Although there are some positive aspects regarding the explainability of FAtiMA-Toolkit, there is still progress to be made to achieve a fully explainable social agent authoring tool. We provide a set of key concepts and possible solutions that can guide developers to build such tools.
