Exploring the Effects of Technological Writing Assistance for Support Providers in Online Mental Health Community

“…A more plausible alternative is to offer writing feedback and guidance on the fly to the support providers with technological aids, which can take various forms and has been investigated in other domains [32,70,74]. For example, Wu et al designed the Additional Writing Help tool to assess Facebook posts drafted by users with dyslexia before publishing and suggest words for refinement [74].…”

“…However, assessing writing performance might discourage support providers who are also OMHC members with mental health issues, as they are sensitive to being judged, either by audience members or algorithms [24,30,52]. Instead of directly judging the content, there exists another type of writing support tool that recommends examples related to the input text as references for improvement [32,40]. For instance, Gero et al proposed Metaphoria that generates coherent metaphorical examples based on an input word to promote creative writing like poetry [32].…”

CharacterChat: Supporting the Creation of Fictional Characters through Conversation and Progressive Manifestation with a Chatbot

“…Writing tools in the (HCI) literature support academic writing [36], stories [8,39], poetry [19], metaphors [18],…”

“…and slogans [8], using NLP [8,18,19,36], visualisations [39] or images [5]: For instance, Storyprint plots scenes and characters on a "circular time axis" [39]. NLP researchers explored (controlled) story plot generation with AI [37], including (reinforcement learning) agents [1,25,28], which (inter)act as characters to create the plot.…”

Designing and Evaluating Intelligent Agents’ Interaction Mechanisms for Assisting Human in High-Level Thinking Tasks

“…Inspired by the human teachers' and moderators' ways of ofering writing feedback and the design of existing writing support technologies, we summarize two types of assisting methods that an intelligent agent can use to help peers improve the comments' quality. One method is to assess (AS) the text [24], and the other is to recommend (RE) writing examples [2,10] on the fy. However, the AS-mode or RE-mode assistants could raise concerns about frustration [24] or sincerity [10], which may become sensitive issues in the context of OMHCs.…”
