Abstract

Communication skills are an important part of academic success and healthy relationships. Teacher-centered teaching style is often a one-way knowledge transfer, leaving limited time for students to interact and discuss in the classroom. In order to improve the oral narrative ability of school-aged children, this project hopes to build a story Chatbot that can interact with primary school students (in Chinese) about the English stories they read, expressing what they read, feel and discover through conversation, establishing their viewpoints and attitude towards life. We will use information extraction techniques as the basis for robots to understand stories, and guide children to converse with robots through 4F (Fact, Fact, Feeling, Discovery, Future) guidelines,  about their understanding of the story, as well as feeling, discovering, and prediction of the story. In addition to reviewing the stories children have read, the story chatbot should also be able to respond to their questions, understand their feelings and give empathetic responses. It is hoped that through interaction, school-aged children will improve their narrative skills and be encouraged express themselves.


溝通技巧是學業成功和健康關係的重要組成部分。傳統以教師為中心的教學方式通常是單向的知識傳遞, 課堂上留給學生互動討論的時間很有限。為了提高學齡兒童的口語敘述能力, 本計畫希望構建一個聊故事機器人,可以與小學生(用中文)談論他們讀到的英語故事、透過互動練習來表達他們所閱讀、感受和發現的內容,以支持他們的觀點或建立他們對生活的態度。我們將使用資訊擷取作為機器人理解故事的基礎,透過4F(Fact、Fact、Feeling、Discovery、Future)提問引導學童回答故事相關問題,以及感受、發現、與預測故事的可能發展。除了引導學童回顧所閱讀的故事,聊故事機器人也要能回應學童的問題,同時也能基於常識知識圖譜(CSKG)理解學童的感受,給予同理心回覆。希望透過互動提高學習者的敘述技巧,並鼓勵他們表達自己的觀點。
