“…The sleep diary was filled out more than 35 times by 35 participants, 13 participants filled in less than 7 diaries, and the other 24 participants filled in between 7 and 35 diaries. 1 Relaxation exercises were less adhered to: 41 participants performed a maximum of 7 exercises and 11 participants did not perform a single relaxation exercise; only 7 participants performed more than 35 exercises. Conversations, on the other hand, were strongly adhered to 47 participants finished 90% of the offered conversations and only 4 participants finished less than 10% of the conversations.…”

“…The third type of interaction was applied in the design of, for instance, SHRDLU [45], Collagen [34], and the DenK-system [1]. In SHRDLU, the concrete domain was a simulated blocks world; in Collagen, a virtual videocassette recorder; and in DenK, a virtual electron microscope.…”

“…For this purpose, the agent usually contains information structures about the dialog, the domain, the tasks, and the users. Examples of such structures are dialog grammars or finite state machines to model the dialog [25]; Type-Theory to represent knowledge structures and discourse [1]; the context-change approaches to dialog act interpretation and generation [10]; and BeliefsDesires-Intentions architectures to reason about, for instance, goals and plans [2,33,43].…”

“…On the other hand, humans can interact with the world physically by directly manipulating the domain (e.g., pushing, moving, lifting) and through sensing (e.g., hearing, seeing, touching). The essential difference between the two interaction types is that interactions of the first type need an interpreter who can bridge the gap between the symbols and their actual meaning and purpose, while interactions of the second type are related in a more direct manner to human perception and action [1,23,39].…”

In this paper, a user interface paradigm, called Talk-and-Tools, is presented for automated e-coaching. The paradigm is based on the idea that people interact in two ways with their environment: symbolically and physically. The main goal is to show how the paradigm can be applied in the design of interactive systems that offer an acceptable coaching process. As a proof of concept, an ecoaching system is implemented that supports an insomnia therapy on a smartphone. A human coach was replaced by a cooperative virtual coach that is able to interact with a human coachee. In the interface of the system, we distinguish between a set of personalized conversations (BTalk^) and specialized modules that form a coherent structure of input and output facilities (BTools^). Conversations contained a minimum of variation to exclude unpredictable behavior but included the necessary mechanisms for variation to offer personalized consults and support. A variety of system and user tests was conducted to validate the use of the system. After a 6-week therapy, some users spontaneously reported the experience of building a relationship with the e-coach. It is concluded that the addition of a conversational component fills an important gap in the design of current mobile systems.

“…TT, which is actually based on typed lambda calculus, is a powerful logical formalism in the field of theorem proving and programming languages. In the field of human-computer communication, TT was used in the DenK-project [1] as a knowledge representation of the system to model various types of beliefs. In the project, an 'intelligent' agent was modelled that supported a human user in its use of a particular domain.…”

In this paper, we present a computational framework for the detection of conceptual discrepancies in human-computer interaction. The framework is developed as a basis for the generation of feedback utterances at the ontological level. In our method, presuppositions are extracted from the user's message, expressed in a common vocabulary, and compared with the system's ontology, which is expressed in type theory. Discrepancies are detected by the system if it notices type conflicts, particular inconsistencies or ontological gaps. Depending on the kind of discrepancy, the system generates a particular feedback message in order to establish alignment of its private ontology with the mental model of the user.
