Polyphonic Inter-Animation of Voices in Chats
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents and discusses the idea that one reason for the success of collaborative problem solving is the polyphonic character of work in small groups. Polyphony, a concept taken from music, may occur in chats for problem solving, transforming dialog into a “thinking device”: Different voices jointly construct a melody (story, or solution) and other voices adopt differential positions, identifying dissonances (unsound, rickety stories or solutions). This polyphonic interplay may eventually make clear the correct (“sound”) construction. The paper also proposes software tools for identification and visualization of voices in chats.

Polyphonic Inter-Animation of Voices in VMT
This chapter introduces a theoretical framework for analyzing collaborative problem solving in chats, based on the concept of polyphony and Bakhtin’s theory of dialog. Polyphony, a notion taken from music theory, may be considered as a general model for interaction and creativity by a group of people (“voices,” in an extended sense) following patterns of counterpoint. As Bakhtin emphasized, pol...
متن کاملA Polyphonic Model and System for Inter-animation Analysis in Chat Conversations with Multiple Participants
Discourse in instant messenger conversations (chats) with multiple participants is often composed of several intertwining threads. Some chat environments for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) support and encourage the existence of parallel threads by providing explicit referencing facilities. The paper proposes a discourse model for such chats, based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogic...
متن کاملPolyphonic Support for Collaborative Learning
This paper argues that one reason for the success of collaborative problem solving where individual attempts failed is the polyphonic character of work in small groups. Polyphony, a concept taken from music, may occur in chats for problem solving, transforming dialog into a “thinking device”: Different voices jointly construct a melody (story, or solution) and other voices adopt differential po...
متن کاملDialogism: A Framework for CSCL and a Signature of Collaboration
As Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) gains a broader usage in multiple educational scenarios facilitated by the use of technology, the need for automated tools capable of detecting and stimulating collaboration increases. We propose a computational model using ReaderBench that assesses collaboration from a dialogical perspective. Accordingly, collaboration emerges from the inter-...
متن کاملCorrespondence Analysis, Cross-Autocorrelation and Clustering in Polyphonic Music
This paper proposes to represent symbolic polyphonic musical data as contingency tables based upon the duration of each pitch for each time interval. Exploratory data analytic methods involve weighted multidimensional scaling, correspondence analysis, hierarchical clustering, and general autocorrelation indices constructed from weighted temporal neighborhoods. Beyond the analysis of single poly...
