Hui-Chin Yeh, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Collaborative writing (CW) research has gained prevalence in recent years. However, the ways in which students interact socially to produce written texts through synchronous collaborative writing (SCW) is rarely studied. This study aims to investigate the effects of SCW on students’ writing products and how collaborative dialogu...

A key problem for models of dialogue is to explain how conventions are established and sustained. Existing accounts emphasize the importance of interaction, demonstrating how collaborative feedback leads to more systematized, stable and arbitrary referential conventions. However, co-ordination in dialogue requires both co-ordination of content and of process. To investigate procedural co-ordina...

In dialogues in which both agents are autonomous, each agent deliberates whether to accept or reject the contributions of the current speaker. A speaker cannot simply assume that a proposal or an assertion will be accepted. However, an examination of a corpus of naturally-occurring problem-solving dialogues shows that agents often do not explicitly indicate acceptance or rejection. Rather the s...

Non-collaborative dialogues are characterized by congruent and incongru-ent, partly conflicting intentions, that means mixed intention sets of the participants. Such dialogues are challenging for a number of reasons when supported by dialogue systems. We introduce a model of Situated Dialogue Action (SAM) that represents system-supported dialogues between multiple participants with mixed intent...

In this paper, we describe an environment for supporting collaborative problem solving that uses dialogue agents both for creating a collaborative attitude between students as well as for offering instruction. We evaluated the effect of the social dialogue agents on student collaboration by contrasting a condition that included the social agents with a condition that did not include them. Both ...

With the development of deep learning, advanced dialogue generation methods usually require a greater amount computational resources. One promising approach to obtaining high-performance and lightweight model is knowledge distillation, which relies heavily on pre-trained powerful teacher. Collaborative also known as online an effective way conduct one-stage group distillation in absence well-tr...

COMPS is a web-delivered computer-mediated problem solving environment for student collaborative exploratory learning. The primary mode of interaction is typed dialogue, but COMPS also provides problem-specific affordances for exploring a problem. This paper reports qualitatively on dialogues from students employed in four different activities: two logical reasoning problems in a quantitative l...

Collaborative risk management is a fundamental task in project management. This paper discusses a new collaborative approach to risk management which is grounded on the integration of dialogue games and argument schemes from argumentation research. In particular, we propose a new dialogue game to organize risk discussions, and the exploitation of typical argument schemes for risk management on ...
