Modeling anaphora in informal mathematical dialogue

چکیده
We analyze anaphoric phenomena in the context of building an input understanding component for a conversational system for tutoring mathematics. In this paper, we report the results of data analysis of two sets of corpora of dialogs on mathematical theorem proving. We exemplify anaphoric phenomena, identify factors relevant to anaphora resolution in our domain and extensions to the input interpretation component to support it.

DARE: Deep Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Anaphora resolution is a central topic in dialogue and discourse processing that deals with finding the referents of pronouns. There are no studies, to the best of our knowledge, that focus on anaphora resolution in the context of tutorial dialogues. In this paper, we present the first version of DARE (Deep Anaphora Resolution Engine), an anaphora resolution engine for dialogue-based Intelligen...
متن کاملDialogue Acts, Synchronising Units and Anaphora Resolution
We present a method for classifying and resolving anaphora in spoken dialogue which relies crucially on the concept of dialogue acts. Our segmentation is influenced by (Clark & Schaefer, 1989) and (Carletta et al., 1997) and shows a high degree of inter-coder reliability. In our model, which is based on (Strube, 1998), the domain from which potential antecedents for both individual and discours...
متن کاملAnaphora Resolution Using Extended Centering Algorithm In A Multi-Modal Dialogue System
Anaphora in multi-modal dialogues have different aspects compared to the anaphora in language-only dialogues. They often refer to the items signified by a gesture or by visual means. In this paper, we define two kinds of anaphora: screen anaphora and referring anaphora, and propose two general methods to resolve these anaphora. One is a simple mapping algorithm that can find items refetxed with...
متن کاملThe DARE Corpus: A Resource for Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
We describe the DARE corpus, an annotated data set focusing on pronoun resolution in tutorial dialogue. Although data sets for general purpose anaphora resolution exist, they are not suitable for dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems. To the best of our knowledge, no data set is currently available for pronoun resolution in dialogue based intelligent tutoring systems. The described DARE c...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Anaphora resolution is a central topic in dialogue and discourse that deals with finding the referent of a pronoun. It plays a critical role in conversational Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) as it can increase the accuracy of assessing students’ mental model based on their natural language inputs. Although the task of anaphora resolution is one of the most studied problems in Natural Langua...
