Abstract
The Virtual Facilitator project is aimed at mediating human conflict in real-time by replacing scarce and prohibitively expensive human facilitation experts with inexpensive and ubiquitously available intelligent software. As the Virtual Facilitator has evolved, the management interface has been clogged down from an endless progression of ad hoc additions. A major revision of the administrative graphical user interface will not only benefit the performance of those in charge of creating and managing sets of facilitative guidelines, but also implicitly improve the experience of the end user by creating more intuitive conversation interventions. Additionally, many more modifications are needed in order to maintain the project, such as providing a system of grouping users and assigning permissions, creating administrative editors, and designing a system for manipulating states in our learning classifier system.
Biography
Andrew plans to graduate with a Bachelor in Computer Science from Missouri University of Science & Technology in 2013. He will be an intern at Rapportive in San Francisco during the summer of 2011, and will return for the 2011 school year to work on the Virtual Facilitator through undergraduate research.
