By combining expert knowledge of negotiating behavior compiled over a series of empirical studies with neural networks, we show that a hybrid approach to parameter selection yields promise for designing more effective and socially intelligent agents. Specifically, we show that a deep feedforward neural network using a theory-driven three-parameter model can be effective in predicting negotiation outcomes. Furthermore, it outperforms other expert-designed models that use more parameters, as well as those using other techniques (such as linear regression models or boosted decision trees). In a follow-up study, we show that the most successful models change as the dataset size increases and the prediction targets change, and show that boosted decision trees may not be suitable for the negotiation domain. We anticipate these results will have impact for those seeking to combine extensive domain knowledge with more automated approaches in human-computer negotiation. Further, we show that this approach can be a stepping stone from purely exploratory research to targeted human-behavioral experimentation. Through our approach, areas of social artificial intelligence that have historically benefited from expert knowledge and traditional AI approaches can be combined with more recent proven-effective machine learning algorithms.</p>","PeriodicalId":17529,"journal":{"name":"Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2021-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138508787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presentation skills are composed of verbal and nonverbal skill components, but because people demonstrate their presentation skills in a variety of manners, the observed multimodal features vary widely. Due to the differences in features, when test data samples are generated on different training data sample distributions, in many cases, the prediction accuracy of the skills degrades. In machine learning theory, this problem in which training (source) data are biased is known as instance selection bias or covariate shift. To solve this problem, this paper presents an instance weighting adaptation method that is applied to estimate the presentation skills of each participant from multimodal (verbal and nonverbal) features. For this purpose, we collect a novel multimodal presentation dataset that includes audio signal data, body motion sensor data, and text data of the speech content for participants observed in 58 presentation sessions. The dataset also includes both verbal and nonverbal presentation skills, which are assessed by two external experts from a human resources department. We extract multimodal features, such as spoken utterances, acoustic features, and the amount of body motion, to estimate the presentation skills. We propose two approaches, early fusing and late fusing, for the regression models based on multimodal instance weighting adaptation. The experimental results show that the early fusing regression model with instance weighting adaptation achieved <span>(rho =0.39)</span> for the Pearson correlation, which presents the regression accuracy for the clarity of presentation goal elements. In the maximum case, the accuracy (correlation coefficient) is improved from <span>(-0.34)</span> to +0.35 by instance weighting adaptation.</p>","PeriodicalId":17529,"journal":{"name":"Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2021-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138508789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
