Diagnosing Natural Language Answers to Support Adaptive Tutoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding answers to open-ended explanation questions is important in intelligent tutoring systems. Existing systems use natural language techniques in essay analysis, but revert to scripted interaction with short-answer questions during remediation, making adapting dialogue to individual students difficult. We describe a corpus study that shows that there is a relationship between the types of faulty answers and the remediation strategies that tutors use; that human tutors respond differently to different kinds of correct answers; and that re-stating correct answers is associated with improved learning. We describe a design for a diagnoser based on this study that supports remediation in open-ended questions and provides an analysis of natural language answers that enables adaptive generation of tutorial feedback for both correct and faulty answers.

Knowledge-Based Approaches for Interactive Student Modelling and Adaptive Web Explanations
The paper presents two knowledge-based approaches to the design of intelligent tutoring systems focusing on diagnosing students and generating adaptive explanations. We discuss the use of a domain ontology encoded with conceptual graphs in two recent works in Artificial Intelligence in Education and Natural Language Processing: STyLE-OLM (an interactive learner modelling system that extracts ex...
متن کاملLearning Greek with an Adaptive and Intelligent Hypermedia System
This paper reports on a course-support system for English learners of Greek which is built around an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS). Meaningful interaction between the learner and the system is achieved by a number of means: First, students provide natural language input rather than selecting exclusively from among pre-defined answers. Second, the ILTS uses Natural Language Process...
متن کاملThe Beetle and BeeDiff tutoring systems
We describe two tutorial dialogue systems that adapt techniques from task-oriented dialogue systems to tutorial dialogue. Both systems employ the same reusable deep natural language understanding and generation components to interpret students' written utterances and to automatically generate adaptive tutorial responses, with separate domain reasoners to provide the necessary knowledge about th...
متن کاملA Revised Algorithm for Latent Semantic Analysis
The intelligent tutoring system AutoTutor uses latent semantic analysis to evaluate student answers to the tutor's questions. By comparing a student's answer to a set of expected answers, the system determines how much information is covered and how to continue the tutorial. Despite the success of LSA in tutoring conversations, the system sometimes has difficulties determining at an early stage...
متن کاملTo Tutor the Tutor: Adaptive Domain Support for Peer Tutoring
The effectiveness of intelligent tutoring systems at increasing learning might be improved if the systems were combined with collaborative activities that encouraged conceptual elaboration. We extended the Cognitive Tutor Algebra, an intelligent tutoring system for high-school mathematics, with a peer tutoring activity that was designed to encourage interaction, reflection, and accountability. ...
