ITSPOKE: An Intelligent Tutoring Spoken Dialogue System
نویسندگان
چکیده
ITSPOKE is a spoken dialogue system that uses the Why2-Atlas text-based tutoring system as its “back-end”. A student first types a natural language answer to a qualitative physics problem. ITSPOKE then engages the student in a spoken dialogue to provide feedback and correct misconceptions, and to elicit more complete explanations. We are using ITSPOKE to generate an empirically-based understanding of the ramifications of adding spoken language capabilities to text-based dialogue tutors.

Detecting question-bearing turns in spoken tutorial dialogues
Current speech-enabled Intelligent Tutoring Systems do not model student question behavior the way human tutors do, despite evidence indicating the importance of doing so. Our study examined a corpus of spoken tutorial dialogues collected for development of ITSpoke, an Intelligent Tutoring Spoken Dialogue System. The authors extracted prosodic, lexical, syntactic, and student and task dependent...
متن کاملDiscourse and Dialogue Processing in Spoken Intelligent Tutoring Systems
In recent years, the development of intelligent tutoring dialogue systems has become more prevalent, in an attempt to close the performance gap between human and computer tutors. Tutoring applications differ in many ways, however, from the types of applications for which spoken dialogue systems are typically developed. This talk will illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges in this a...
متن کاملSpoken Versus Typed Human and Computer Dialogue Tutoring
While human tutors typically interact with students using spoken dialogue, most computer dialogue tutors are text-based. We have conducted two experiments comparing typed and spoken tutoring dialogues, one in a human-human scenario, and another in a human-computer scenario. In both experiments, we compared spoken versus typed tutoring for learning gains and time on task, and also measured the c...
متن کاملInteractive Spoken Simulation Control and Conversational Tutoring
Introduction We describe how spoken dialogue interfaces make a simulation-based trainer and an intelligent tutoring system into a powerful package for Naval damage control education. An advanced simulator gives a student real-time experience that would otherwise be extremely costly to provide. The dialogue interface to the simulator uses a simple finite-state script to allow the user to issue o...
متن کاملSpeech recognition performance and learning in spoken dialogue tutoring
Speech recognition errors have been shown to negatively correlate with user satisfaction in evaluations of task-oriented spoken dialogue systems. In the domain of tutorial dialogue systems, however, where the primary evaluation metric is student learning, there has been little investigation of whether speech recognition errors also negatively correlate with learning. In this paper we examine co...
