Towards Augmenting Human Affordance in Evaluation of Agreement/Disagreement Phrases
Abstract
Our final goal is to utilize a cognition viewpoint for engineering of better design of human communication tools. In this paper, we extend the concept of affordance to cover human-to-human communication and propose the novel concept of ’’human affordance,’’ which is afforded from humans, not artifacts. As one possible utilization of the concept, we introduce the example of affordance in evaluating the strength of agreement / disagreement phrases. In text-based communication, it is important for mutual understanding to effectively afford information about how a person feels about the text itself. This paper presents experimental results on understanding the strength of agreement/disagreement and presents one simple example to augment human affordance in text-based communication.
