DARE: Deep Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaphora resolution is a central topic in dialogue and discourse processing that deals with finding the referents of pronouns. There are no studies, to the best of our knowledge, that focus on anaphora resolution in the context of tutorial dialogues. In this paper, we present the first version of DARE (Deep Anaphora Resolution Engine), an anaphora resolution engine for dialogue-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems. The development of DARE was guided by dialogues obtained from two dialogue-based computer tutors: DeepTutor and AutoTutor.

Studies of one-on-one tutoring have found that expert tutoring is more effective than non-expert tutoring, but the reasons for its effectiveness are relatively unexplored. Since tutoring involves deep natural language interactions between tutor and student, we study the tutorial dialogue patterns by comparing an expert tutor to nonexpert tutors. Our results show what behaviors constitute expert...
