summaryGood communication, as applied to humans meeting each other, is largely based on subjective judgements of whether a certain sameness – rapport – was bulit or not. When we measure human-machine communication, the measures are regularly different, and focus around task completion. In this talk, I’ll make an attempt at comparing these two views. I hope to show that they are in essence not all that different, and that the views of communication as either information transfer or social hobnobbing are unnecessarily disparate.
