COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF LEARNERS' DISCOURSE IN COMPUTER-MEDIATED GROUP LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A method is described comprising receiving a conversational transcript of a conversational interaction among a plurality of participants, wherein each participant contributes a sequence of contributions to the conversational interaction. The method includes projecting contributions of the plurality of participants into a semantic space using a natural language vectorization, wherein the semantic space describes semantic relationships among words of the conversational interaction. The method includes computing interaction process measures using information of the conversational transcript, the conversational interaction, and the natural language vectorization.
