Abstract
It is known that computers can improve ideation productivity. For example, conventional systems help users to improve ideations by presenting words that are related to the users' conversational topics. However, these systems usually do not consider the users' vocabulary levels and words that the users do not know may be displayed. This can happen quite often when they are discussing something in their non-native language, or sometimes even in their native language as technical terms may need to be explained in detail. Showing too many unknown words could discourage the users from paying attention to the system and the system would become completely useless. In this research, we introduce a method to estimate the users' vocabulary levels during the ideation process by taking advantage of machine learning techniques. We examine the system usability with a user study and discuss design guidelines for an ideation support system.
