Grounding with Structure: Exploring Design Variations of Grounded Human-AI Collaboration in a Natural Language Interface

Selecting an effective utterance among countless possibilities that match a user's intention poses a challenge when using natural language interfaces. To address the challenge, we leveraged the principle of least collaborative effort in communication grounding theory and designed three grounded conversational interact…

Evaluating What Others Say: The Effect of Accuracy Assessment in Shaping Mental Models of AI Systems

Forming accurate mental models that align with the actual behavior of an AI system is critical for successful user experience and interactions. One way to develop mental models is through information shared by other users. However, this social information can be inaccurate and there is a lack of research examining whe…

The Design and Development of a Game to Study Backdoor Poisoning Attacks: The Backdoor Game

Recently, AI Security researchers have identified a new way crowdsourced data can be intentionally compromised. Backdoor attacks are a process through which an adversary creates a vulnerability in a machine learning model by “poisoning’' the training set by selectively mislabelling images containing a backdoor object.…

Effects of Communication Directionality and AI Agent Differences in Human-AI Interaction

In Human-AI collaborative settings that are inherently interactive, direction of communication plays a role in how users perceive their AI partners. In an AI-driven cooperative game with partially observable information, players (be it the AI or the human player) require their actions to be interpreted accurately by t…

Human-AI Collaboration in a Cooperative Game Setting: Measuring Social Perception and Outcomes

Human-AI interaction is pervasive across many areas of our day to day lives. In this paper, we investigate human-AI collaboration in the context of an AI-driven word association game. In our experiments, we test various dimensions of subjective social perceptions (rapport, intelligence, creativity and likeability) of…

Mental Models of AI Agents in a Cooperative Game Setting

As more and more forms of AI become prevalent, it becomes increasingly important to understand how people develop mental models of these systems. In this work we study people's mental models of AI in a cooperative word guessing game. We run think-aloud studies in which people play the game with an AI agent; through th…

BigBlueBot: Teaching Strategies for Successful Human-Agent Interactions

Chatbots are becoming quite popular, with many brands developing conversational experiences using platforms such as IBM's Watson Assistant and Facebook Messenger. However, previous research reveals that users' expectations of what conversational agents can understand and do far outpace their actual technical capabilit…
