While these systems given the dialogue context. Corpus-based can achieve results on par with unskilled human approaches to creating tutorial dialogue tutors, tutorial dialogue systems have not yet management models may facilitate more matched the effectiveness of expert human tutors flexible and rapid development of tutorial (VanLehn et al., 2007). dialogue systems and may increase the A more flexible model of strategy selection may effectiveness of these systems by allowing enable tutorial dialogue systems to increase their data-driven adaptation to learning contexts effectiveness by responding adaptively to a broader and to individual learners. This paper presents a family of models, including first-order range of contexts. A promising method for Markov, hidden Markov, and hierarchical deriving ...
