VirCo enables learners to engage with a variety of client personas through realistic conversations, thereby enhancing their counseling abilities in a self-directed manner. Furthermore, it features tools for course development, assignments, and multiple feedback systems, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

However, this method usually requires high expertise and manual effort because human coders need to read, interpret, and manually annotate text passages. This is especially true if the system of categories used for annotation is complex and semantically rich. Therefore, qualitative content analysis could benefit greatly from automated coding. In this work, we investigate the usage of machine learning-based text classification models for automatic coding in the area of psycho-social online counseling. We developed a system of over 50 categories to analyze counseling conversations, labeled over 10.000 text passages manually, and evaluated the performance of different machine learning-based classifiers against human coders.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SteigerwaldBienleinBurghardtetal.2025, author = {Steigerwald, Philipp and Bienlein, Nico and Burghardt, Jennifer and Stieler, Mara and Lehmann, Robert and Albrecht, Jens}, title = {CAIA in Practice: Field Evaluation of an AI-Assisted Support System for Text-Based Online Counselling}, series = {2025 IEEE 37th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)}, booktitle = {2025 IEEE 37th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/ICTAI66417.2025.00214}, pages = {1476 -- 1483}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Rising global demand for mental health support creates significant service delivery challenges, with asynchronous email counselling serving as a crucial low-threshold channel for accessing care.

A field evaluation involved 34 professional counsellors conducting authentic sessions with trained student counsellees (36 threads, 321 messages, 1,257 AI outputs). User behaviour analysis confirms substantial adoption, revealing that professional autonomy and information accuracy are decisive for sustained acceptance, with counsellors particularly valuing interpretive functionalities that provide new perspectives and stimulate professional reflection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BurghardtStielerSteigerwaldetal.2026, author = {Burghardt, Jennifer and Stieler, Mara and Steigerwald, Philipp and Albrecht, Jens and Lehmann, Robert}, title = {KI-Assistenz in der psychosozialen Onlineberatung - Erkenntnisse zur Akzeptanz bei Fachkr{\"a}ften}, year = {2026}, subject = {Soziale Arbeit}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BurghardtStielerSteigerwaldetal.2025, author = {Burghardt, Jennifer and Stieler, Mara and Steigerwald, Philipp and Rudolph, Eric and Albrecht, Jens and Lehmann, Robert}, title = {KI-gest{\"u}tzte Beratung - Assistenzsysteme f{\"u}r Ratsuchende und Fachkr{\"a}fte in der digitalen Beratung}, series = {Deutscher Suchtkongress (DSK)}, volume = {2}, booktitle = {Deutscher Suchtkongress (DSK)}, number = {1}, doi = {10.18416/DSK.2025.2259}, year = {2025}, language = {de} }
