Tutorial Dialogue Systems

چکیده
Previous research on building intelligent tutoring systems has not leveraged general models of collaborative discourse, even though tutoring is an inherently collaborative and often discourse-based activity. Similarly, previous research on collaborative discourse theory has rarely addressed tutorial issues, even though teaching and learning are crucial components of collaboration. We help bridge the gap between these two related research threads by presenting a tutorial agent, called Paco, that we built using an application-independent collaboration manager, called Collagen. Our primary contribution is to show how a variety of tutorial behaviors can be expressed as rules for generating candidate discourse acts in the framework of collaborative discourse theory.

Identifying Effective Moves in Tutoring: On the Refinement of Dialogue Act Annotation Schemes
The rich natural language dialogue that is exchanged between tutors and students has inspired many successful lines of research on tutorial dialogue systems. Yet, today’s tutorial dialogue systems do not regularly achieve the same level of student learning gain as has been observed with expert human tutors. Implementing models directly informed by, and even machine-learned from, human-human tut...
متن کاملLeveraging Hidden Dialogue State to Select Tutorial Moves
A central challenge for tutorial dialogue systems is selecting an appropriate move given the dialogue context. Corpus-based approaches to creating tutorial dialogue management models may facilitate more flexible and rapid development of tutorial dialogue systems and may increase the effectiveness of these systems by allowing data-driven adaptation to learning contexts and to individual learners...

We describe two tutorial dialogue systems that adapt techniques from task-oriented dialogue systems to tutorial dialogue. Both systems employ the same reusable deep natural language understanding and generation components to interpret students' written utterances and to automatically generate adaptive tutorial responses, with separate domain reasoners to provide the necessary knowledge about th...

For tutorial dialogue systems, selecting an appropriate dialogue move to support learners can significantly influence cognitive and affective outcomes. The strategies implemented in tutorial dialogue systems have historically been based on handcrafted rules derived from observing human tutors, but a data-driven model of strategy selection may increase the effectiveness of tutorial dialogue syst...
متن کاملRecognizing Effective and Student-Adaptive Tutor Moves in Task-Oriented Tutorial Dialogue
One-on-one tutoring is significantly more effective than traditional classroom instruction. In recent years, automated tutoring systems are approaching that level of effectiveness by engaging students in rich natural language dialogue that contributes to learning. A promising approach for further improving the effectiveness of tutorial dialogue systems is to model the differential effectiveness...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship Between Dialogue Structure and Tutoring Effectiveness: A Hidden Markov Modeling Approach
Identifying effective tutorial dialogue strategies is a key issue for intelligent tutoring systems research. Human-human tutoring offers a valuable model for identifying effective tutorial strategies, but extracting them is a challenge because of the richness of human dialogue. This article addresses that challenge through a machine learning approach that 1) learns tutorial modes from a corpus ...
