Exploring Effective Dialogue Act Sequences in One-on-one Computer Science Tutoring Dialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an empirical study of one-onone human tutoring dialogues in the domain of Computer Science data structures. We are interested in discovering effective tutoring strategies, that we frame as discovering which Dialogue Act (DA) sequences correlate with learning. We employ multiple linear regression, to discover the strongest models that explain why students learn during one-on-one tutoring. Importantly, we define “flexible” DA sequence, in which extraneous DAs can easily be discounted. Our experiments reveal several cognitively plausible DA sequences which significantly correlate with learning outcomes.

A Tutorial Dialogue System for Real-Time Evaluation of Unsupervised Dialogue Act Classifiers: Exploring System Outcomes
Dialogue act classification is an important step in understanding students’ utterances within tutorial dialogue systems. Machinelearned models of dialogue act classification hold great promise, and among these, unsupervised dialogue act classifiers have the great benefit of eliminating the human dialogue act annotation effort required to label corpora. In contrast to traditional evaluation appr...
متن کاملWorked Out Examples in Computer Science Tutoring
We annotated and analyzed Worked Out Examples (WOEs) in a corpus of tutoring dialogues on Computer Science data structures. We found that some dialogue moves that occur within WOEs, or sequences thereof, correlate with learning. Features of WOEs such as length also correlate with learning for some data structures. These results will be used to augment the tutorial tactics available to iList, an...
متن کاملCombining Task and Dialogue Streams in Unsupervised Dialogue Act Models
Unsupervised machine learning approaches hold great promise for recognizing dialogue acts, but the performance of these models tends to be much lower than the accuracies reached by supervised models. However, some dialogues, such as task-oriented dialogues with parallel task streams, hold rich information that has not yet been leveraged within unsupervised dialogue act models. This paper invest...
متن کاملCorrelations between dialogue acts and learning in spoken tutoring dialogues
We examine correlations between dialogue behaviors and learning in tutoring, using two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues: a human-human corpus and a human-computer corpus. To formalize the notion of dialogue behavior, we manually annotate our data using a tagset of student and tutor dialogue acts relative to the tutoring domain. A unigram analysis of our annotated data shows that student lea...
متن کاملUnderstanding Student Language: An Unsupervised Dialogue Act Classification Approach
Within the landscape of educational data, textual natural language is an increasingly vast source of learning-centered interactions. In natural language dialogue, student contributions hold important information about knowledge and goals. Automatically modeling the dialogue act of these student utterances is crucial for scaling natural language understanding of educational dialogues. Automatic ...
