A Scalable, Reusable, Spoken Conversational Tutor: SCoT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scalability and reusability of tutorial dialogue systems is a function of the corresponding characteristics in their component tutoring and dialogue technologies. This paper discusses an architecture for a scalable, reusable, spoken conversational tutor, SCoT. With this design we hope to minimize the efforts needed to reuse the components for implementing a tutor in any domain, large or small.

SCoT: A Spoken Conversational Tutor
We describe SCoT, a Spoken Conversational Tutor, which has been implemented in order to investigate the advantages of natural language in tutoring, especially spoken language. SCoT uses a generic architecture for conversational intelligence which has capabilities such as turn management and coordination of multi-modal input and output. SCoT also includes a set of domain independent tutorial rec...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effectiveness of SCoT: A Spoken Conversational Tutor
SCoT is a tutorial dialogue system that engages students in natural language discussions through a speech interface. The current instantiation, SCoT-DC, is applied to the domain of shipboard damage control—the task of containing the effects of crises (e.g. fires) that occur aboard Navy vessels. This paper describes a recent evaluation of SCoT-DC and presents preliminary results showing: (1) the...
متن کاملAdvantages of Spoken Language Interaction in Dialogue-Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
The ability to lead collaborative discussions and appropriately scaffold learning has been identified as one of the central advantages of human tutorial interaction [6]. In order to reproduce the effectiveness of human tutors, many developers of tutorial dialogue systems have taken the approach of identifying human tutorial tactics and then incorporating them into their systems. Equally importa...
متن کاملResponding to Student Uncertainty in Spoken Tutorial Dialogue Systems
In designing and building tutorial dialogue systems it is important not only to understand the tactics employed by human tutors but also to understand how tutors decide when to use various tactics. We argue that these decisions are based not only on student problem-solving steps and the content of student utterances, but also on the meta-communicative information conveyed through spoken utteran...
متن کاملChallenges in Interpreting Spoken Military Commands and Tutoring Session Responses
Various challenges have emerged over several years of grammar engineering for the spoken dialogue interface to the Navy damage control simulator DC-Train and the Spoken Conversational Tutor SCoT-DC, which reviews DC-Train performance. The systems use two methods for finding interpretations for student utterances from the recognized string. First, a Gemini grammar interprets full strings into a ...
