Challenges for a mixed initiative spoken dialog system for oral reading tutoring
Conference Paper, Proceedings of AAAI '97 Spring Symposium on Computational Models for Mixed Initiative Interaction, pp. 1 - 6, March, 1997
Abstract
Deciding when a task is complete and deciding when to intervene and provide assistance are two basic challenges for an intelligent tutoring system. This paper describes these decisions in the context of Project LISTEN, an oral reading tutor that listens to children read aloud and helps them. We present theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrating that supporting mixed initiative interaction produces better decisions on the task completeness decision than either system-only or user-only initiative. We describe some desired characteristics of a solution to the intervention decision, and specify possible evaluation criteria for such a solution.
