Structuring Two-Medium Dialog For Learning Language And Other Things
نویسندگان
چکیده
OVERVIEW: Naturalistic two-medium communication with a computational system, using both language and interactive graphics (Cohen, 1991; Maier, 1993; McKeown, 1993), is an important practical complement to studies that involve only language, only graphics and/or only people. Integrative two-medium work should build on insights and findings in the one-medium disciplines of graphical manipulative interfaces (e.g., Hutchins et al., 1986; Sullivan and Tyler, 1991) and natural language discourse (e.g., Grosz and Sidner, 1986; Litman and Allen, 1987; Hovy, 1988; Lambert and Carberry, 1991; Paris, 1991).

This study examined the effect of structur...

متن کاملWeakly and Strongly Constrained Dialogues for Language Learning
We present two dialogue systems for language learning which both restrict the dialog to a specific domain thereby promoting robustness and the learning of a given vocabulary. The systems vary in how much they constrain the learner’s answer : one system places no other constrain on the learner than that provided by the restricted domain and the dialog context ; the other provides the learner wit...
