Statistiche
"We augmented the existing WTD annotations with dual annotation of GAMR, and participant actions using VoxML (Pustejovsky and Krishnaswamy, 2016)."
"GAMR annotations achieved a SMATCH-F1 score of 0.75."
"Action annotation achieved an F1 score of 0.67 and Cohen’s κ of 0.59."
"CGA achieved F1 of 0.54 and Cohen’s κ of 0.50."
Citazioni
"Understanding the role of nonverbal behavior in multimodal communication has long been a research interest in HCI."
"Gesture may have meaning on its own, or it may enhance the meaning provided by the verbal modality."
"Our model will be particularly useful for AI systems deployed in environments such as classrooms, where they can track the collective knowledge of a group and facilitate productive collaborations."
How can power dynamics in group interactions affect the construction of common ground?
Power dynamics in group interactions can significantly impact the construction of common ground. When certain participants hold more influence or authority within a group, their beliefs and assertions may carry more weight in shaping the shared beliefs of the entire group. This can lead to a situation where the common ground is skewed towards the perspectives or agendas of the more dominant individuals, potentially marginalizing the contributions or viewpoints of others. In such cases, the construction of common ground may not truly reflect the collective knowledge or consensus of the group, but rather be influenced by the power dynamics at play.
What are the implications of misclassifications in the move classifier on the development of common ground?
Misclassifications in the move classifier can have significant implications on the development of common ground. For instance, if a STATEMENT is misclassified as an ACCEPT or vice versa, it can lead to incorrect updates in the common ground structure. This can result in the elevation of certain propositions to fact status prematurely or the retention of unresolved questions under discussion when they should have been resolved. Such misclassifications can introduce inaccuracies in the shared beliefs of the group, potentially leading to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, or biases in the collaborative decision-making process.
How can the model be enhanced to handle propositions involving multiple objects more effectively?
To enhance the model's ability to handle propositions involving multiple objects more effectively, several strategies can be implemented:
Improved Propositional Extraction: Develop more sophisticated algorithms for extracting propositions from utterances involving multiple objects. This could involve leveraging contextual information, syntactic analysis, and semantic parsing to accurately identify and represent complex propositions.
Cross-Modal Integration: Integrate information from multiple modalities (e.g., language, gesture, action) to capture nuanced propositions involving multiple objects. By combining signals from different modalities, the model can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the expressed content.
Fine-Tuning Move Classifier: Train the move classifier to better differentiate between statements involving multiple objects and actions. By refining the classification of different types of utterances, the model can more accurately assign propositions to the appropriate common ground banks.
Contextual Understanding: Enhance the model's ability to interpret the context of utterances to infer relationships between multiple objects. By considering the broader context of the dialogue and task, the model can better handle propositions that involve complex interactions between different entities.
