Stanford Online Deliberation Platform

[I attended the Nobel Prize Summit 2023 because of the hands-on opportunities offered.

Experience it for yourself.

A system for verbal discussion among about 8 people

Automated moderation is a mechanism for moderating a videoconference.

Continue to cut off people who talk too long.

Speaking time is visualized.

When one person is talking, the next person who wants to talk is queued up and everyone can visualize "who wants to talk next".

Pre-setting and consumption is visualized for each agenda item.

After the scheduled time has passed, the speaker moves to the next agenda item without mercy at the end of his/her remarks.

On the other hand, if everyone is silent, "Shall we move on to the next item on the agenda?" a vote called "Do we proceed to the next agenda item?

I failed to take a screenshot of this one, below is a similar diallo

When the time is up, it turns red outside of the scheduled time frame as shown below.

When you press the interrupt button, the two faces of the main person talking and the person who interrupted are shown (screenshot failed).

The composition becomes clear: "Mr. B is interrupting Mr. A's turn of conversation."

Is there a limit to the amount of time we can talk in an interruption? I failed to check, but I would put a limit.

If you're silent for a while, you'll be prompted to speak up.

It does not make it easier to speak up just because you are prompted to do so (personal opinion).

Voting part

https://gyazo.com/bcb90ea3954d6f92f4c1f0938bf9fc18

Each individual writes 0 to 1 statement each.

Vote on it in the order of discussion.

https://gyazo.com/d32a01593165d9c5c5907ce88c1a8627

Discuss during each discussion time and the submitter can update the text in light of it.

https://gyazo.com/21ce697d3f1486a848631309f2de89a7

Then we'll vote in order of preference.

Do it twice and hire the top of each.

Adopted W

The event was designed so that the questions selected here would be used as potential topics for the panel discussion that followed.

I think this is a case by case basis.

consideration

Not similar to Polis.

The only voting-like part is the last "prioritize your questions" section.

Basically, it's like talking in English and listening in English via videoconference.

Voice Communication Issues

Automatic subtitles appear, but disappear quickly.

Cannot be selected on the browser

So, as a non-native English speaker, I am prevented from using machine translation.

Just leave it all like a chat.

Ideally, machine translation should be integrated into the system itself.

I thought there would be some more mechanism to take care of the "participants from all over the world" since it's a Nobel Prize Summit, but there was nothing like that.

What I thought after the two sessions.

There are mechanisms in place to interrupt and prevent one person from talking too much, but that is necessary because we are using voice

Why don't they just stop using audio and everyone write in parallel in text?

I went to bed and woke up and realized

This is a different perspective on the same thing.

A system of showing the issues on video and discussing them verbally

This is a mechanism "to allow people with low literacy skills to participate in the deliberative process

However, those who have difficulty with spoken communication in English are marginalized.

Mechanism for non-turn based discussion in text

This assumes the participants' writing literacy is high enough.

A system that enables people who have difficulty hearing or speaking out loud to participate in discussions

However, poor text communication alienates

In the end, this is about leaning on the various cognitive characteristics of each individual, so we need both mechanisms.

But my cognitive characteristics are in the "text asynchronous communication is far better" camp, so I don't think I'm the right person to do a project to support the voice side of things.
