Accountable Talk theory has been widely adopted to analyze classroom discourse and is increasingly used to annotate tutoring interactions. In particular, the TalkMoves codebook, grounded in Accountable Talk theory, is commonly used to label…

Development of multimodal interactive systems is hindered by the lack of rich, multimodal (text, images) conversational data, which is needed in large quantities for LLMs. Previous approaches augment textual dialogues with retrieved images,…

Grounded language acquisition -- learning how language-based interactions refer to the world around them -- is amajor area of research in robotics, NLP, and HCI. In practice the data used for learning consists almost entirely of textual…

One of the many tasks facing the typically-developing child language learner is learning to discriminate between the distinctive sounds that make up words in their native language. Here we investigate whether multimodal…
