Abstract

Conversation is not only a joint activity in itself, but also a means for joint activity. Discussions can benefit from augmented conversation in stimulating, editing, disseminating, and reusing conversations. Conversational intelligence empowered by conversational agents allows wisdom exchanged in conversation to be shared and evolved in a community. Cognitive design allows for deeper support for discussions by allowing conversational agents to sense social signals, estimating the tacit intentions of discussants, and even leading discussions in a direction potentially preferred by the discussants. In this chapter, we present some pilot studies on grounding conversational support at the cognitive level.
