Title: Supporting Online Discussions: Integrating AI Into the adhocracy+ Participation Platform To Enhance Deliberation
Authors: Maike Behrendt, Stefan Sylvius Wagner, Stefan Harmeling,
Abstract summary: We present an extension of adhocracy+, a large-scale open source participation platform, that provides two additional debate modules. These modules are supported by AI to enhance the discussion quality and participant interaction.

Abstract: Online spaces allow people to discuss important issues and make joint decisions, regardless of their location or time zone. However, without proper support and thoughtful design, these discussions often lack structure and politeness during the exchanges of opinions. Artificial intelligence (AI) represents an opportunity to support both participants and organizers of large-scale online participation processes. In this paper, we present an extension of adhocracy+, a large-scale open source participation platform, that provides two additional debate modules that are supported by AI to enhance the discussion quality and participant interaction.

From Experts to the Public: Governing Multimodal Language Models in Politically Sensitive Video Analysis [48.14390493099495]
This paper examines the governance of large language models (MM-LLMs) through individual and collective deliberation. We conducted a two-step study: first, interviews with 10 journalists established a baseline understanding of expert video interpretation; second, 114 individuals from the general public engaged in deliberation using Inclusive.AI.

This workshop will grow and consolidate a community of interdisciplinary CSCW researchers focusing on the topic of contestable AI. As an outcome of the workshop, we will synthesize the most pressing opportunities and challenges for contestability along AI value chains in the form of a research roadmap. Considering the length and depth of AI value chains, it will especially spur discussions around the contestability of AI systems along various sites of such chains.

Facilitating Opinion Diversity through Hybrid NLP Approaches [0.18918331915892175]
This thesis proposal identifies the challenges involved in facilitating large-scale online discussions with Natural Language Processing (NLP) We propose a three-layered hierarchy for representing perspectives that can be obtained by a mixture of human intelligence and large language models. We illustrate how these representations can draw insights into the diversity of perspectives and allow us to investigate interactions in online discussions.

ChoiceMates: Supporting Unfamiliar Online Decision-Making with Multi-Agent Conversational Interactions [58.71970923420007]
We present ChoiceMates, a system that enables conversations with a dynamic set of LLM-powered agents. Agents, as opinionated personas, flexibly join the conversation, not only providing responses but also conversing among themselves to elicit each agent's preferences. Our study (n=36) comparing ChoiceMates to conventional web search and single-agent showed that ChoiceMates was more helpful in discovering, diving deeper, and managing information compared to Web with higher confidence.

Inclusion, equality and bias in designing online mass deliberative platforms [5.316553118382712]
Designers of online deliberative platforms aim to counter the degrading quality of online debates and eliminate online discrimination based on class, race or gender. Support technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing open avenues for widening the circle of people involved in deliberation. We review the transdisciplinary literature on the design of digital mass-deliberation platforms and examine the commonly featured design aspects.

We define the Emotional Support Conversation task and propose an ESC Framework, which is grounded on the Helping Skills Theory. We construct an Emotion Support Conversation dataset (ESConv) with rich annotation (especially support strategy) in a help-seeker and supporter mode. We evaluate state-of-the-art dialog models with respect to the ability to provide emotional support.
