• Abstract: Interactive story reading is a common parent-child activity, where parents expect to teach both language skills and real-world knowledge beyond the story. While increasing storytelling and reading systems have been developed for this activity, they often fail to infuse real-world knowledge into the conversation. This limitation can be attributed to the existing question-answering (QA) datasets used for children's education, upon which the systems are built, failing to capture the nuances of how education experts think when conducting interactive story reading activities. To bridge this gap, we design an annotation framework, empowered by existing knowledge graph to capture experts' annotations and thinking process, and leverage this framework to construct StorySparkQA dataset, which comprises 5,868 expert-annotated QA pairs with real-world knowledge. We conduct automated and human expert evaluations across various QA pair generation settings to demonstrate that our StorySparkQA can effectively support models in generating QA pairs that target real-world knowledge beyond story content.

• FairytaleQA Translated: Enabling Educational Question and Answer Generation in Less-Resourced Languages [0.0]
  This paper introduces machine-translated versions of FairytaleQA, a renowned QA dataset designed to assess and enhance narrative comprehension skills in young children. We employ fine-tuned, modest-scale models to establish benchmarks for both Question Generation (QG) and QA tasks within the translated datasets. We present a case study proposing a model for generating question-answer pairs, with an evaluation incorporating quality metrics such as question well-formedness, answerability, relevance, and children suitability.

  AI-based storytelling and reading technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in preschoolers' lives. This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling and reading scenarios and, how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them. Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling and reading technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations due to a series of interactive and algorithmic challenges.

  Existing studies in conversational AI mostly treat task-oriented dialog (TOD) and question answering (QA) as separate tasks. We propose a new task, Open-Book TOD (OB-TOD), which combines TOD with QA task and expand external knowledge sources. We propose a unified model OPERA which can appropriately access explicit and implicit external knowledge to tackle the defined task.
