Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained thefollowing quote sourced from osf.io:“Conversation entails a tight coordination between the interlocutors in terms of co-representation andlinguistic alignment (e.g., word choices). “In this study we investigated whether people conceptually align in a language task with a robot.24 French native speakers alternated with an artificial partner in naming images of objects belongingto different semantic categories (e.g., mammals, clothes...). For five out of fifteen categories the robotproduced the item’s category instead of the preferred basic-level name. Logistic regression models onparticipants’ errors revealed that they adapted to the robot’s conceptual choices, and produced morecategory names over the course of the experiment.
