Conversational Search for Learning Technologies
This is an incremental discussion paper proposing ideas for improving learning technologies through conversational search, without presenting new experimental results.
The paper discusses how conversational search systems can enhance learning by examining user-system cooperation and multimodal communication, concluding with a research roadmap for future directions.
Conversational search is based on a user-system cooperation with the objective to solve an information-seeking task. In this report, we discuss the implication of such cooperation with the learning perspective from both user and system side. We also focus on the stimulation of learning through a key component of conversational search, namely the multimodality of communication way, and discuss the implication in terms of information retrieval. We end with a research road map describing promising research directions and perspectives.
