Impact of Experiencing Misrecognition by Teachable Agents on Learning and Rapport

Yuya Asano, Diane Litman, Mingzhi Yu +4

While speech-enabled teachable agents have some advantages over typing-based ones, they are vulnerable to errors stemming from misrecognition by automatic speech recognition (ASR).…
