| # TACTBench Demonstration Samples |
|
|
| This repository contains five full-context demonstration examples from |
| TACTBench. It does not contain the TACT training set or the remaining hidden |
| TACTBench evaluation set. The samples use the same full-history representation |
| as the benchmark evaluation and illustrate direct correction, error |
| explanation, guided revision, clarification checking, affective feedback, and |
| retry elicitation. |
|
|
| ## Data |
|
|
| - `data/demo.jsonl`: five complete benchmark contexts selected from five |
| distinct tutoring conversations. |
| - Each row contains the full visible dialogue history before the target teacher |
| turn, the reference teacher response, and its tutor-strategy label or labels. |
|
|
| These rows are demonstration examples and must not be included in future hidden |
| benchmark scoring. Historical paper results were computed on the original |
| 78-item benchmark before these examples were released. |
|
|
| ## Schema |
|
|
| - `sample_id`: stable identifier for this demonstration release. |
| - `source_item_id`: provenance identifier in the internal benchmark. |
| - `split`: always `demo`. |
| - `context_scope`: always `full_history`. |
| - `history_variant`: always `full_context`, matching the paper evaluation. |
| - `full_history_turn_count`: number of visible dialogue turns before the target. |
| - `dialogue_history`: ordered teacher and student turns. |
| - `reference_teacher_response`: the authentic next teacher turn. |
| - `teacher_taxonomy_labels`: pedagogical function labels for the response. |
| - `source_full_context_word_count`: descriptive word count across the complete |
| visible dialogue history and reference response. |
|
|
| ## Source and Terms |
|
|
| The dialogue excerpts are derived from the Teacher-Student Chatroom Corpus |
| version 2 (TSCC v2). TSCC is distributed by the University of Cambridge under |
| its own user agreement for non-commercial research and educational use. This |
| sample repository does not grant rights to the complete TSCC corpus. Researchers |
| who need the source corpus should apply through the official TSCC access form: |
