Repetition and Rhythmicity Based Assessment Model for Chat Conversations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a model and an application that can be used to assess chat conversations according to their content, which is related to a number of imposed topics, and to the personal involvement of the participants. The main theoretical ideas that stand behind this application are Bakhtin’s polyphony theory and Tannen’s ideas related to the use of repetitions. The results of the application are validated against the gold standard provided by two teachers from the Human-Computer Interaction evaluating the same chats and after that the verification is done using another teacher from the same domain. During the verification we also show that the model used for chat evaluation is dependent on the number of participants to that chat.
