Abstract

ABSTRACT The increased popularity of CUIs has motivated HCI work around specific approaches to research, design, and implementation, while also reflecting on these topics. However, current research is highly fragmented and lacks critical mass around topics such as theory, methods and design. Building this critical mass is a fundamentally multidisciplinary endeavour. CUIs involve language based interaction, either through speech or text, with another agent(s) or device(s). This type of interaction not only needs to engage with traditional HCI approaches, but also to embrace methods from communicative and social sciences. This is crucial for making progress towards human-centred conversational interfaces. Along with the recent ACM SIGCHI Conversational User Interfaces conference (ACM CUI), this special issue showcases research to further solidify the foundations of the field in these areas. Below we outline some key challenges faced by the field, describe the papers in this special issue, and then outline areas for future research.

本专题导论:引导对话:对话式用户界面的新理论和设计视角

ui的日益普及促使HCI工作围绕特定的研究、设计和实现方法，同时也反映了这些主题。然而，目前的研究是高度分散的，缺乏围绕理论、方法和设计等主题的临界质量。从根本上说，建立这一临界质量是一项多学科的努力。gui涉及基于语言的交互，通过语音或文本与另一个代理或设备进行交互。这种类型的互动不仅需要采用传统的HCI方法，还需要采用交际科学和社会科学的方法。这对于实现以人为中心的对话界面至关重要。与最近的ACM SIGCHI会话用户界面会议(ACM CUI)一起，这一期特刊展示了进一步巩固这些领域基础的研究。下面我们概述了该领域面临的一些关键挑战，介绍了本期特刊中的论文，然后概述了未来研究的领域。

期刊介绍： Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
