Affect Detection from Human-Computer Dialogue with an Intelligent Tutoring System

چکیده
We investigated the possibility of detecting affect from natural language dialogue in an attempt to endow an intelligent tutoring system, AutoTutor, with the ability to incorporate the learner’s affect into its pedagogical strategies. Training and validation data were collected in a study in which college students completed a learning session with AutoTutor and subsequently affective states of the learner were identified by the learner, a peer, and two trained judges. We analyzed each of these 4 data sets with the judges’ affect decisions, along with several dialogue features that were mined from AutoTutor’s log files. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that dialogue features could significantly predict particular affective states (boredom, confusion, flow, and frustration). A variety of standard classifiers were applied to the dialogue features in order to assess the accuracy of discriminating between the individual affective states compared with the baseline state of neutral.

Spoken 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 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 کاملPredicting Affective States expressed through an Emote-Aloud Procedure from AutoTutor's Mixed-Initiative Dialogue
This paper investigates how frequent conversation patterns from a mixed-initiative dialogue with an intelligent tutoring system, AutoTutor, can significantly predict users’ affective states (e.g. confusion, eureka, frustration). This study adopted an emote-aloud procedure in which participants were recorded as they verbalized their affective states while interacting with AutoTutor. The tutor-tu...
متن کاملAdaptive Model for Agent-Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
The purpose of this article is to build a model of interaction between the learner and the teacher, where the teacher performs the role of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). If a teacher in the learning process is replaced with a computer system, it should be equipped with a system to adapt to the learner’s cognitive state. We studied factors that influence the learner’s perception of the in...
متن کاملComparing Human-Human to Human-Computer Tutorial Dialogue
Intelligent Tutoring Systems are often modeled after human tutors; however, the effectiveness of this strategy is yet to be determined. Research on media interactions suggests that behaviors with humans are similar to those with computers. Intelligent Tutoring System studies have said the opposite. In this study we compared a human-human and a humancomputer tutoring system in terms of metacogni...
