Abstract

The HAI conference is the premier discussion venue on the topic of Human Agent Interaction. In this paper we present our findings from the scientometric analysis of full papers from the HAI conference since its inception to date. We extracted various bibliometric measures and qualitatively coded our sample of 107 full papers over the 4 years of the conference. Our results show that the conference has not really grown rapidly and attracts papers from predominantly Asian Pacific regions. User studies were the common research methodology undertaken in HAI papers and humanoid robots are the popular agent of choice. Domains such as Education and Health were surprisingly underrepresented whereas communication was the focus of almost half of the papers. We also report on a mini comparison with the ICSR and IVA conference as a bench-marking strategy, which provides us with some reflections on how the HAI conference can be moved forward. In conclusion, we speculate on our findings and provide some insights to the organizers and steering committee of the HAI conference.
