DARE: Deep Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Anaphora resolution is a central topic in dialogue and discourse processing that deals with finding the referents of pronouns. There are no studies, to the best of our knowledge, that focus on anaphora resolution in the context of tutorial dialogues. In this paper, we present the first version of DARE (Deep Anaphora Resolution Engine), an anaphora resolution engine for dialogue-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems. The development of DARE was guided by dialogues obtained from two dialogue-based computer tutors: DeepTutor and AutoTutor.
