Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) markers capture key aspects of effective teamwork, such as staying on task, avoiding interruptions, and generating constructive ideas.

摘要

Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) markers capture key aspects of effective teamwork, such as staying on task, avoiding interruptions, and generating constructive ideas. An AI system that reliably detects these markers could help teachers identify when a group is struggling or demonstrating productive collaboration. Such a system requires an automated pipeline composed of multiple components. In this work, we evaluate how CPS detection is impacted by automating two critical components: transcription and speech segmentation. On the public Weights Task Dataset (WTD), we find CPS detection performance with automated transcription and segmentation methods is comparable to human-segmented and manually transcribed data; however, we find the automated segmentation methods reduces the number of utterances by 26.5%, impacting the granularity of the data. We discuss the implications for developing AI-driven tools that support collaborative learning in classrooms.
