How Different, or Different How? Stance Granularity in Viewpoint Selection for Dialog Systems that Engage Users with Alternative Views
Morita Tarvirdians, Reeve Lorena, Catharine Oertel
Systems that aim to help a user engage with viewpoints other than their own have to decide how different those viewpoints should be. Viewpoints are mainly represented on a scalar s…
Why This and Not That? A Collaborative Reflection Approach for Understanding Thought Coverage in Decision Making Support Dialog
Morita Tarvirdians, Hayley Hung, Catharine Oertel
Conversational agents that support reflection for decision-making often rely on adaptive dialog policies that map observed user behavior to actions such as probing, deepening, or r…
Reflecti-Mate: A Conversational Agent for Adaptive Decision-Making Support Through System 1 and System 2 Thinking
Morita Tarvirdians, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Hayley Hung +2
Making high-stakes personal decisions involves cognitive, emotional, and intuitive processes, and individuals differ in how they allocate attention across these modes. Integration…
LLM Chatbots in High School Programming: Exploring Behaviors and Interventions
Manuel Valle Torre, Marcus Specht, Catharine Oertel
This study uses a Design-Based Research (DBR) cycle to refine the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) in high school programming education. The initial problem was identifi…
