Correlating student acoustic-prosodic profiles with student learning in spoken tutoring dialogues

چکیده
We examine correlations between student learning and student acoustic-prosodic profiles, which prior research has shown to be predictive of emotional states. We compare these correlations in two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues: a human-human corpus and a human-computer corpus. Our results suggest that rather than relying on emotion prediction models developed via the more labor-intensive method of manually labeling emotions, adaptive strategies for our spoken dialogue tutoring system can be developed based on observed acoustic-prosodic profiles that we hypothesize to be reflective of emotion.

متن کاملRecognizing student emotions and attitudes on the basis of utterances in spoken tutoring dialogues with both human and computer tutors
While human tutors respond to both what a student says and to how the student says it, most tutorial dialogue systems cannot detect the student emotions and attitudes underlying an utterance. We present an empirical study investigating the feasibility of recognizing student state in two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues, one with a human tutor, and one with a computer tutor. We first annotat...
متن کاملPredicting Student Emotions in Computer-Human Tutoring Dialogues
We examine the utility of speech and lexical features for predicting student emotions in computerhuman spoken tutoring dialogues. We first annotate student turns for negative, neutral, positive and mixed emotions. We then extract acoustic-prosodic features from the speech signal, and lexical items from the transcribed or recognized speech. We compare the results of machine learning experiments ...
متن کاملPredicting Emotion in Spoken Dialogue from Multiple Knowledge Sources
We examine the utility of multiple types of turn-level and contextual linguistic features for automatically predicting student emotions in human-human spoken tutoring dialogues. We first annotate student turns in our corpus for negative, neutral and positive emotions. We then automatically extract features representing acoustic-prosodic and other linguistic information from the speech signal an...
متن کاملDetecting question-bearing turns in spoken tutorial dialogues
Current speech-enabled Intelligent Tutoring Systems do not model student question behavior the way human tutors do, despite evidence indicating the importance of doing so. Our study examined a corpus of spoken tutorial dialogues collected for development of ITSpoke, an Intelligent Tutoring Spoken Dialogue System. The authors extracted prosodic, lexical, syntactic, and student and task dependent...
