When to generate hedges in peer-tutoring interactions
Alafate Abulimiti, Chloé Clavel, Justine Cassell
This paper explores the application of machine learning techniques to predict where hedging occurs in peer-tutoring interactions. The study uses a naturalistic face-to-face dataset…
How About Kind of Generating Hedges using End-to-End Neural Models?
Alafate Abulimiti, Chloé Clavel, Justine Cassell
Hedging is a strategy for softening the impact of a statement in conversation. In reducing the strength of an expression, it may help to avoid embarrassment (more technically, ``fa…
"You might think about slightly revising the title": identifying hedges in peer-tutoring interactions
Yann Raphalen, Chloé Clavel, Justine Cassell
Hedges play an important role in the management of conversational interaction. In peer tutoring, they are notably used by tutors in dyads (pairs of interlocutors) experiencing low…
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…
A survey of neural models for the automatic analysis of conversation: Towards a better integration of the social sciences
Chloé Clavel, Matthieu Labeau, Justine Cassell
Some exciting new approaches to neural architectures for the analysis of conversation have been introduced over the past couple of years. These include neural architectures for det…
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…
Statistical Verification of Computational Rapport Model
Xuhai Xu, Justine Cassell
Rapport plays an important role during communication because it can help people understand each other's feelings or ideas and leads to a smooth communication. Computational rapport…
Leveraging Recurrent Neural Networks for Multimodal Recognition of Social Norm Violation in Dialog
Tiancheng Zhao, Ran Zhao, Zhao Meng +1
Social norms are shared rules that govern and facilitate social interaction. Violating such social norms via teasing and insults may serve to upend power imbalances or, on the cont…
