ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe backchan.nl, a web based backchannel system that focuses on managing questions for presenters by allowing audience members propose and vote on other people's questions. Top rated questions are projected in the presentation space so audience members, moderators, and panelists can see them. We discuss the results of deploying this system at a conference and relate those results to the particular design of our system, demonstrating how backchannel systems can be more than just shared chat rooms.

CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we describe backchan.nl, a web based backchannel system that focuses on providing greater audience participation during question and answer sessions. The system allows audience members to use a web-based service to propose questions and ...
Prediction of Various Backchannel Utterances Based on Multimodal Information
IVA '23: Proceedings of the 23rd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsThe listener's backchannels are an important part of dialogues. With appropriate backchannels, people are able to smoothly promote dialogues. Thus, backchannels are considered to be important in dialogues between not only humans but also humans and ...
Determining most suitable listener backchannel type for speaker's utterance
IVA '22: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsA major hurdle in achieving a dialogue system that enables smooth dialogue is to determine how to generate an appropriate response to a user's utterance. Previous research has focused mainly on estimating whether to make an utterance backchannel in ...
