Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for scoring spoken language in multiparty conversations. A computer receives a conversation between an examinee and at least one interlocutor. The computer selects a portion of the conversation. The portion includes one or more examinee utterances and one or more interlocutor utterances. The computer assesses the portion using one or more metrics, such as: a pragmatic metric for measuring a pragmatic fit of the one or more examinee utterances; a speech act metric for measuring a speech act appropriateness of the one or more examinee utterances; a speech register metric for measuring a speech register appropriateness of the one or more examinee utterances; and an accommodation metric for measuring a level of accommodation of the one or more examinee utterances. The computer computes a final score for the portion of the conversation based on the one or more metrics applied.
