Automatic Analysis Of Self-Explanations

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Self-explanations represent the reader’s verbalizations made during the lecture of a text in order to better understand its content. The proposed system is designed to automatically analyze these self-explanations, thus allowing the teacher to assess in detail the understanding level of the read materials; similar implementations exist only for English. This paper briefly presents the application’s architecture, the integrated technologies and describes how the assessment of verbalizations has been conducted. The proposed method is based on natural language processing techniques adapted for French and it is targeted at primary school pupils. In addition, during the analysis process we integrated an heuristic at concepts level in order to assess the similarity between the original texts and the pupils’ verbalizations.
