| Challenge: | Existing models do not provide an efficient way to locate information that enters the common ground. |
| Approach: | They propose a method based on segmentation of a conversation into themes followed by their summarization and obtain the location of information transfers by computing the distance between the theme summary and the different utterances produced by a speaker. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is based on the segmentation of a conversation into themes followed by their summarization and obtains the location of information transfers by computing the distance between the theme summary and the different utterances produced by a speaker. |

| Challenge: | Existing studies of language-in-interaction focus on the two ends of the developmental spectrum, i.e., early childhood and adulthood, leaving a gap in our knowledge about how development unfolds, especially across middle childhood. |
| Approach: | They propose to use CHICA to analyze child-caregiver conversations at home . they use mobile, lightweight eye-tracking and head motion detection to optimize the naturalness of the recordings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus of child-caregiver conversations at home was compared with a previous corpus based on a set of conversations between children aged 7, 9, and 11 years old. |
