Predicting Dialogue Breakdown in Conversational Pedagogical Agents with Multimodal LSTMs

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION, AIED 2019, PT II, Vol. 11626, pp. 195–200.

author keywords: Conversational pedagogical agent; Multimodal; Dialogue breakdown detection; Natural language processing; Gaze
TL;DR: Results from a study with 92 middle school students demonstrate that multimodal long short-term memory network (LSTM)-based dialogue breakdown detectors incorporating eye gaze features achieve high predictive accuracies and recall rates, suggesting that multi-modal detectors can play an important role in designing conversational pedagogical agents that effectively engage students in dialogue.
