Assertion: contains a counting sequence

This classifier was trained for EduBehaviors: Assertion-based schemas for auditable dialogue coding and is usable through the Python package EduBehaviors-kit. This classifier was trained on an LLM-annotated subset of teacher utterances from the TalkMoves Dataset. See the Datasets section below for more information.

Training Details

Datasets

Dataset	Split	Size
StanfordSCALE/assertions_llm_annotated_talkmoves	train	13,182 (53.3%)
StanfordSCALE/assertions_llm_annotated_talkmoves	dev	3,296 (13.3%)
StanfordSCALE/assertions_llm_annotated_talkmoves	test	8,237 (33.3%)

This model's columns are assertion_contains_a_counting_sequence and split_contains_a_counting_sequence.

Base rate (share of rows labeled as True): 1.2% overall — 1.1% train, 1.1% dev, 1.3% test.

Labels and annotation

Labels were generated with LLM annotators. Krippendorff's alpha for this assertion is 0.786.

Evaluation

Results

Split	n	Base rate	Precision	Recall	F1 (positive class)	ROC-AUC	Average precision
dev	3,296	1.1%	0.812	0.743	0.776	0.953	0.835
test	8,237	1.3%	0.813	0.806	0.809	0.952	0.818

Limitations

• Labels come from LLM annotators, not human coders. Agreement between annotators with Krippendorff's Alpha is 0.786.
• Trained on teacher utterances only. Behaviour on student speech is untested.

How to Use

Message Structure

The model was trained on text built as:

{utterance}

The utterance is passed through as-is.

Running instructions

pip install setfit

from setfit import SetFitModel

model = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("StanfordSCALE/assertion_contains_a_counting_sequence")

text = 'Five 13 14 16 18 20 22'
model.predict([text])        # -> array([1]) when the assertion holds
model.predict_proba([text])  # -> [[P(no), P(yes)]]
