Investigating Cue Placement and Selection in Tutorial Discourse

چکیده
Our goal is to identify the features that predict cue placement and selection in order to devise strategies for automatic text generation. Much previous work in this area has relied on intuitions, constructed examples, or unsystematic analyses of naturally occurring data. We describe a coding scheme for the exhaustive analysis of discourse, and report two results based on this analysis.

Investigating Cue Selection and Placement in Tutorial Discourse
Our goal is to identify the features that predict cue selection and placement in order to devise strategies for automatic text generation. Much previous work in this area has relied on ad hoc methods. Our coding scheme for the exhaustive analysis of discourse allows a systematic evaluation and re nement of hypotheses concerning cues. We report two results based on this analysis: a comparison of...
متن کاملLearning Features that Predict Cue Usage
Our goal is to identify the features that predict the occurrence and placement of discourse cues in tutorial explanations in order to aid in the automatic generation of explanations. Previous at tempts to devise rules for text generation were based on intuition or small numbers of constructed examples. We apply a machine learning program, C4.5, to induce decision trees for cue occurrence and pl...
متن کاملDiscourse Cues in Narrative Text: Using Production to Predict Comprehension
Discourse cues (e.g., because, since, therefore, and so) express structural and semantic relationships between parts of an explanation, and are used extensively by human tutors. Previous research by Moser and Moore (in preparation) revealed patterns of cue occurrence, placement, and selection in the speech of expert tutors during tutorial dialogues. An experiment measuring both reading times an...
متن کاملA Decision-Theoretic Architecture for Selecting Tutorial Discourse Actions
We propose a decision-theoretic architecture for selecting tutorial discourse actions. DT Tutor, an action selection engine which embodies our approach, uses a dynamic decision network to consider the tutors objectives and uncertain beliefs in adapting to the changing tutorial state. It predicts the effects of the tutors discourse actions on the tutorial state, including the students interna...
متن کاملCue Phrase Selection In Instruction Dialogue Using Machine Learning
The purpose of this paper is to identify e ective factors for selecting discourse organization cue phrases in instruction dialogue that signal changes in discourse structure such as topic shifts and attentional state changes. By using a machine learning technique, a variety of features concerning discourse structure, task structure, and dialogue context are examined in terms of their e ectivene...
