How Powerful are You?: gSPIN: Bringing Power Analysis to Your Finger Tips
Pages 239 - 242
Abstract
We present the SPIN system, a computational tool to detect linguistic and dialog structure patterns in a social interaction that reveal the underlying power relations between its participants. The SPIN system labels sentences in an interaction with their dialog acts (i.e., communicative intents), detects instances of overt display of power, and predicts social power relations between its participants. We also describe a Google Chrome browser extension, namely gSPIN, to illustrate an exciting use-case of the SPIN system, which will be demonstrated at the demo session during the conference.

Convey: Exploring the Use of a Context View for Chatbots
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsText messaging-based conversational systems, popularly called chatbots, have seen massive growth lately. Recent work on evaluating chatbots has found that there exists a mismatch between the chatbot's state of understanding (also called context) and the ...
