  • New model’s performance: High human-machine agreement
    • 82% for non-questions
    • 82% for option-posing questions,
    • 98% for wh-questions

Future Work

  • Differentiate between subtypes of option-posing questions
    • Yes-no questions (“Did you go home that night?”)
    • Forced choice questions (“Did you go home that night or did you stay with your sister?”)
    • Suggestive questions (“You went home that night, didn’t you?”)
  • Categorize children’s responses
    • Unelaborated (Q: “Did you go home that night?” A: “No.”)
    • Elaborated (Q: “Did you go home that night?” A: “No, I stayed with my sister.”)
