• Authors: Ananya Ganesh, Martha Palmer, and Katharina Kann
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new task, called future talk move prediction (FTMP) It consists of predicting the next talk move given a conversation history with its corresponding talk moves. We introduce a neural network model for this task, which outperforms multiple baselines by a large margin.

• Abstract: Recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) have the ability to transform how classroom learning takes place. Combined with the increasing integration of technology in today's classrooms, NLP systems leveraging question answering and dialog processing techniques can serve as private tutors or participants in classroom discussions to increase student engagement and learning. To progress towards this goal, we use the classroom discourse framework of academically productive talk (APT) to learn strategies that make for the best learning experience. In this paper, we introduce a new task, called future talk move prediction (FTMP): it consists of predicting the next talk move -- an utterance strategy from APT -- given a conversation history with its corresponding talk moves. We further introduce a neural network model for this task, which outperforms multiple baselines by a large margin. Finally, we compare our model's performance on FTMP to human performance and show several similarities between the two.

  This paper proposes a systematic approach to examine the efficacy of domain knowledge and large language models (LLMs) in better representing counseling conversations.

  This paper investigates a pedagogical approach of classroom flipping based on flipped interaction in large language models. Flipped interaction involves using language models to prioritize generating questions instead of answers to prompts. We propose a workflow to integrate prompt engineering with clicker and JiTT quizzes by a poll-prompt-quiz routine and a quiz-prompt-discuss routine.

The current best conversational models are either good chit-chatters (e.g., BlenderBot) or goal-oriented systems (e.g., MinTL) We propose prompt-based few-shot learning which does not require gradient-based fine-tuning but instead uses a few examples as the only source of learning.
