abstract |
We introduce a novel approach for automatically generating a virtual instructor from
textual input only. Our fully implemented system first analyzes the rhetorical structure
of the input text and then creates various question-answer pairs using patterns. These
patterns have been derived from correlations found between rhetorical structure of
monologue texts and question-answer pairs in the corresponding dialogues. A selection
of the candidate pairs is verbalized into a diverse collection of question-answer
pairs. Finally the system compiles the collection of question-answer pairs into scripts
for a virtual instructor. Our end-to-end system presents questions in pre-fixed order
and the agent answers them. Our system was evaluated with a group of twenty-four subjects.
The evaluation was conducted using three informed consent documents of clinical trials
from the domain of colon cancer. Each of the documents was explained by a virtual
instructor using 1) text, 2) text and agent monologue, and 3) text and agent performing
question-answering. Results show that an agent explaining an informed consent document
did not provide significantly better comprehension scores, but did score higher on
satisfaction, compared to two control conditions. |
