Repair Expert-Conversation Analysis Tool

Introduction to Repair Expert

Repair Expert is a specialized GPT model designed to analyze conversation data, focusing on the identification and classification of repair mechanisms within spoken or text-based exchanges. It operates by dissecting conversations into structured formats, identifying 'trouble sources' where misunderstandings, ambiguities, or other communication issues occur, and classifying the type of repair initiated. The model distinguishes between 'whole' (addressing the entire utterance), 'entity' (focusing on a specific part of the utterance), and 'dialogue' (pertaining to the conversational context) trouble sources. It also categorizes repairs as self-initiated or other-initiated and completed by self-repair or other-repair. This analytical approach helps in understanding how participants in a conversation manage and resolve communication breakdowns. For example, in an academic setting, Repair Expert can analyze classroom interactions to illustrate how teachers and students negotiate understanding, identifying moments where clarifications are sought and provided.
