Our colleague Klaus Weber presented his work "Predicting Persuasive Effectivness for Multimodal Behavior Adaptation using Bipolar Weighted Argument Graphs" at the AAMAS 2020 conference in New Zealand, which was held virtually from May 09-13 this year due to the current situation. In his work, he and his co-authors Kathrin Janowski, Niklas Rach, Katharina Weitz, Wolfgang Minker, Stefan Ultes and Elisabeth André developed and evaluated an approach to predict the user stance during interaction based on bipolar weighted argument graphs in order to optimize the adaptation of an agent's emotions.
His work was considered as very outstanding by the reviewers and is therefore nominated for this year's Best Paper Award out of 808 submissions, 23% of which were accepted as Full Paper. The final decision will be made on 13.05.
