"Do animals have accents?": Talking with agents in multi-party conversation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., & Sharples, S. (2017, February). "Do animals have accents?": Talking with agents in multi-party conversation. Presented at 20th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2017), Portland, Oregon, USA

In this paper we unpack the use of conversational agents, or so-called intelligent personal assistants (IPAs), in multi- party conversation amongst a group of friends while they are socialising in a café. IPAs such as Siri or Google Now can be found... Read More about "Do animals have accents?": Talking with agents in multi-party conversation.
