## Motivation |
|
Lectures are a learning experience for both students and teachers. |
|
Students learn from teachers about the subject material, while teachers learn from students about how to refine their instruction. |
|
Unfortunately, online student feedback is unstructured and abundant, making it challenging for teachers to learn and improve. We take a step towards tackling this challenge. |
|
First, we contribute a dataset for studying this problem: SIGHT is a large dataset of 288 math lecture transcripts and 15,784 comments collected from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) YouTube channel. |
|
Second, we develop a rubric for categorizing feedback types using qualitative analysis. |
|
Qualitative analysis methods are powerful in uncovering domain-specific insights, however they are costly to apply to large data sources. |
|
To overcome this challenge, we propose a set of best practices for using large language models (LLMs) to cheaply classify the comments at scale. |
|
We observe a striking correlation between the model's and humans' annotation: |
|
Categories with consistent human annotations (>$0.9$ inter-rater reliability, IRR) also display higher human-model agreement (>$0.7$), while categories with less consistent human annotations ($0.7$-$0.8$ IRR) correspondingly demonstrate lower human-model agreement ($0.3$-$0.5$). |
|
These techniques uncover useful student feedback from thousands of comments, costing around $\$0.002$ per comment. |
|
We conclude by discussing exciting future directions on using online student feedback and improving automated annotation techniques for qualitative research. |

## Repository structure |
|
|
|
Scripts are in `run_analysis.sh` for replicating the paper analysis. Please refer to the `prompts` directory for replicating the annotations. |
|
|
|
The repo structure: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
. |
|
├── data |
|
├── annotations # Sample (human) and full SIGHT annotations |
|
├── comments # Per-video comments |
|
├── metadata # Per-video metadata like playlist ID or video name |
|
└── transcripts # Per-video transcript, transcribed with Whisper Large V2 |
|
├── prompts # Prompts used for annotation |
|
├── results # Result plots used in paper |
|
├── scripts # Python scripts for analysis |
|
├── requirements.txt # Install requirements for running code |

``` |
|
|
|
## Installation |
|
|
|
To install the required libraries: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
conda create -n sight python=3 |
|
conda activate sight |
|
pip install -r requirements.txt |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Experiments |
|
|
|
TLDR: Running `source run_analysis.sh` replicates all the results we report in the paper. |
|
|
|
|
|
Plots (e.g., the IRR comparison in Figure 3) are saved under `results/` as PDF files. |
|
Numbers (e.g., sample data information in Table 2 or IRR values in Table 3) are printed out under `results/` as txt files. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Annotations |
|
|
|
The automated annotations provided in this GitHub repository have been scaled on categories with high inter-rater reliability (IRR) scores. |
|
While we have made efforts to ensure the reliability of these annotations, it is important to note that the automated annotations may not be completely error-free. |
|
We recommend using these annotations as a starting point and validating them through additional human annotation or other means as necessary. |
|
By using these annotations, you acknowledge and accept the potential limitations and inherent uncertainties associated with automated annotation methods, like annotating at scale with GPT-3.5. |
|
|
|
We welcome any contributions to improve the quality of the annotations in this repository! |
|
If you have made improvements to the annotations or expanded the annotations, feel free to submit a pulll request with your changes. |
|
We appreciate all efforts to make these annotations more useful for the education and NLP community! |
