Using Natural Language Processing to Analyze Tutorial Dialogue Corpora Across Domains Modalities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research goal is to investigate whether previous findings and methods in the area of tutorial dialogue can be generalized across dialogue corpora that differ in domain (mechanics versus electricity in physics), modality (spoken versus typed), and tutor type (computer versus human). We first present methods for unifying our prior coding and analysis methods. We then show that many of our prior findings regarding student dialogue behaviors and learning not only generalize across corpora, but that our methodology yields additional new findings. Finally, we show that natural language processing can be used to automate some of these analyses.

Learning a Tutorial Dialogue Policy for Delayed Feedback
Creating natural language tutorial dialogue systems that realize effective strategies is a central challenge for intelligent tutoring systems research. Traditional approaches generally require large development time, do not generalize well across domains, and do not match the flexibility and natural language sophistication of human tutors. A promising approach that may offer several benefits is...
متن کاملAdaptive Tutorial Dialogue Systems Using Deep NLP Techniques
We present tutorial dialogue systems in two different domains that demonstrate the use of dialogue management and deep natural language processing techniques. Generation techniques are used to produce natural sounding feedback adapted to student performance and the dialogue history, and context is used to interpret tentative answers phrased as questions.
متن کاملUnsupervised Classification of Student Dialogue Acts with Query-Likelihood Clustering
Dialogue acts model the intent underlying dialogue moves. In natural language tutorial dialogue, student dialogue moves hold important information about knowledge and goals, and are therefore an integral part of providing adaptive tutoring. Automatically classifying these dialogue acts is a challenging task, traditionally addressed with supervised classification techniques requiring substantial...

متن کاملModeling Dialogue Structure with Adjacency Pair Analysis and Hidden Markov Models
Automatically detecting dialogue structure within corpora of human-human dialogue is the subject of increasing attention. In the domain of tutorial dialogue, automatic discovery of dialogue structure is of particular interest because these structures inherently represent tutorial strategies or modes, the study of which is key to the design of intelligent tutoring systems that communicate with l...
