Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Evaluation With respect to providing an environment where informative behaviors can be elicited and analyzed in relation with distress, relevant work (De Vault et al. 2013; Scherer et al. 2013; Stratou et al. 2014) on the verbal channel and on audio and video modalities respectively, showed that a virtual human interaction is still rich in behaviors that allow for analysis and assessment of distress via fully automatic methods. This was still in the wizard-driven phase of the system, but similar results can be reproduced in the fully automatic system (different stages of the system and the data we collected are described in (Gratch et al. 2014)). Moreover, it was possible to assess the rapport the users felt with our system through self-report questionnaires in each phase. Overall the results were promising; participants reported willingness to disclose, willingness to recommend and general satisfaction with both the wizard-driven and the fully AI version of the system (Lucas et al. 2014).
