MathDial: A Dialogue Tutoring Dataset with Rich Pedagogical Properties Grounded in Math Reasoning Problems
Jakub Macina, Nico Daheim, Sankalan Pal Chowdhury +4
While automatic dialogue tutors hold great potential in making education personalized and more accessible, research on such systems has been hampered by a lack of sufficiently larg…
Opportunities and Challenges in Neural Dialog Tutoring
Jakub Macina, Nico Daheim, Lingzhi Wang +4
Designing dialog tutors has been challenging as it involves modeling the diverse and complex pedagogical strategies employed by human tutors. Although there have been significant r…
Automatic Generation of Socratic Subquestions for Teaching Math Word Problems
Kumar Shridhar, Jakub Macina, Mennatallah El-Assady +3
Socratic questioning is an educational method that allows students to discover answers to complex problems by asking them a series of thoughtful questions. Generation of didactical…
A Novel Multimodal Approach for Studying the Dynamics of Curiosity in Small Group Learning
Tanmay Sinha, Zhen Bai, Justine Cassell
Curiosity is a vital metacognitive skill in educational contexts, leading to creativity, and a love of learning. And while many school systems increasingly undercut curiosity by te…
On Riemannian Approach for Constrained Optimization Model in Extreme Classification Problems
Jayadev Naram, Tanmay Kumar Sinha, Pawan Kumar
We propose a novel Riemannian method for solving the Extreme multi-label classification problem that exploits the geometric structure of the sparse low-dimensional local embedding…
Curious Minds Wonder Alike: Studying Multimodal Behavioral Dynamics to Design Social Scaffolding of Curiosity
Tanmay Sinha, Zhen Bai, Justine Cassell
Curiosity is the strong desire to learn or know more about something or someone. Since learning is often a social endeavor, social dynamics in collaborative learning may inevitably…
A New Theoretical Framework for Curiosity for Learning in Social Contexts
Tanmay Sinha, Zhen Bai, Justine Cassell
Curiosity is a vital metacognitive skill in educational contexts. Yet, little is known about how social factors influence curiosity in group work. We argue that curiosity is evoked…
Similarity in Observable Behaviors: A Synthesis of Studies with Implications for Socially-Aware Educational Technology Design
Tanmay Sinha
Conversation is like an intricate partner dance and behavioral convergence, or the similarity in observable behaviors of partners over time, can lead to shared understanding, chang…
Capturing "attrition intensifying" structural traits from didactic interaction sequences of MOOC learners
Tanmay Sinha, Nan Li, Patrick Jermann +1
This work is an attempt to discover hidden structural configurations in learning activity sequences of students in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Leveraging combined represen…
Who negatively influences me? Formalizing diffusion dynamics of negative exposure leading to student attrition in MOOCs
Tanmay Sinha
In this work, we explain the underlying interaction mechanisms which govern students' influence on each other in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Specifically, we outline diffe…
Leveraging user profile attributes for improving pedagogical accuracy of learning pathways
Tanmay Sinha, Ankit Banka, Dae Ki Kang
In recent years, with the enormous explosion of web based learning resources, personalization has become a critical factor for the success of services that wish to leverage the pow…
"Your click decides your fate": Leveraging clickstream patterns from MOOC videos to infer students' information processing & attrition behavior
Tanmay Sinha
With an expansive and ubiquitously available gold mine of educational data, Massive Open Online courses (MOOCs) have become the an important foci of learning analytics research. Th…
Towards Investigating Substructures and Role Recognition in Goal Oriented Online Communities
Tanmay Sinha, Indra Rajasingh
In this paper, we apply social network analytic methods to unveil the structural dynamics of a popular open source goal oriented IRC community, Ubuntu. The primary objective is to…
Your click decides your fate: Inferring Information Processing and Attrition Behavior from MOOC Video Clickstream Interactions
Tanmay Sinha, Patrick Jermann, Nan Li +1
In this work, we explore video lecture interaction in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which is central to student learning experience on these educational platforms. As a rese…
Together we stand, Together we fall, Together we win: Dynamic Team Formation in Massive Open Online Courses
Tanmay Sinha
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer a new scalable paradigm for e-learning by providing students with global exposure and opportunities for connecting and interacting with mi…
