Abstract
Online group discussions play an important role in education reform by facilitating collaborative learning and knowledge sharing among participants. However, instructors face significant challenges in monitoring discussion progress, tracking student performance and understanding interaction dynamics due to overlapping conversations, time-varying participant behaviors, and hidden interaction patterns. To address these challenges, we propose GroupTrackVis, an interactive visual analytics system that incorporates both advanced algorithms and novel visualization designs, to help instructors analyze group discussions mainly from three perspectives: topic evolution, student performance, and interaction. GroupTrackVis proposes an enhanced topic segmentation algorithm by incorporating word vector weighting and reply relationship analysis, effectively disentangling overlapping discussions. It also extracts six key behavioral attributes from multimodal educational data, offering a comprehensive view of student performance and providing insights into the key factors driving learning outcomes. Additionally, a multi-layer tree network with edge bundling techniques is implemented to clearly visualize the dynamic evolution of student interactions. The integration of algorithms with interactive visualizations enables instructors to explore discussions quickly and dynamically adjust their analysis as the discussion evolves. The effectiveness of GroupTrackVis is demonstrated through two case studies, a user study, and expert interviews, highlighting its ability to support instructors in identifying engaged and disengaged students, and tracking discussion dynamics.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
