At Monday’s meeting, Max and Haiyi suggested to keep testing out our chat bot script design on other people for the week and make changes accordingly. Then, we tested our active/non-personalized bot design on a group of people in the GroupLens research lab. Three of us simultaneously worked together to operate the chatbot. The lab participants were testing the limits of what the bot could do, so it was quite difficult to act out the bot, but we still managed well. After they came to a consensus and completed the decision making process, we all met to have a discussion about the chatbot. They provided a lot of insightful feedback that helped us establish what we needed to fix. For example, they felt confused as to whether the voting during the conversation was for the final decision or for discussion purposes. Most of the users felt that the voting was for the final decision, so they felt very pressured to decide quickly. Wednesday, we met briefly with Haiyi and Max to update them on how the trial with the lab members went. They also found the results of our trial to be helpful and determined that using personalization as a variable might not create a significant impact. Because of this we started brainstorming possibilities for a new experimental design. For the second half of the week, we worked hard to finish the IRB draft for submission, and determining a new experimental design. We are moving towards testing variables of active/passive, enforced structure/not enforced, and advice/no advice. Our goal for the next week is to finalize the design of the study so that we can run it within the last weeks of my REU stay. In addition, we hope to have the IRB submitted and approved. This weekend, some of us went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This museum was quite different from the Walker. It had a wide variety of exhibits, contemporary, classic, cultural, and historical art. I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend anyone to check it out!
