Salas-Pilco, Sdenka Zobeida; Yang, Yuqin – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2022
Over the last decade, there has been great research interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields, such as medicine, finance, and law. Recently, there has been a research focus on the application of AI in education, where it has great potential. Therefore, a systematic review of the literature on AI in education is…

Paquette, Luc; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Li, Ziyue; Andres, Alexandra; Baker, Ryan – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
The growing use of machine learning for the data-driven study of social issues and the implementation of data-driven decision processes has required researchers to re-examine the often implicit assumption that datadriven models are neutral and free of biases. The careful examination of machine-learned models has identified examples of how existing…

Silva, Valtemir A.; Bittencourt, Ig Ibert; Maldonado, Jose C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Question classification is a key point in many applications, such as Question Answering (QA, e.g., Yahoo! Answers), Information Retrieval (IR, e.g., Google search engine), and E-learning systems (e.g., Bloom's tax. classifiers). This paper aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature on automatic question classifiers and the technology…

Krahmer, Emiel; Koolen, Ruud; Theune, Mariet – Cognitive Science, 2012
In a recent article published in this journal (van Deemter, Gatt, van der Sluis, & Power, 2012), the authors criticize the Incremental Algorithm (a well-known algorithm for the generation of referring expressions due to Dale & Reiter, 1995, also in this journal) because of its strong reliance on a pre-determined, domain-dependent Preference Order.…

van Deemter, Kees; Gatt, Albert; van der Sluis, Ielka; Power, Richard – Cognitive Science, 2012
A substantial amount of recent work in natural language generation has focused on the generation of "one-shot" referring expressions whose only aim is to identify a target referent. Dale and Reiter's Incremental Algorithm (IA) is often thought to be the best algorithm for maximizing the similarity to referring expressions produced by people. We…

van Deemter, Kees; Gatt, Albert; van der Sluis, Ielka; Power, Richard – Cognitive Science, 2012
This response discusses the experiment reported in Krahmer et al.'s Letter to the Editor of "Cognitive Science". We observe that their results do not tell us whether the Incremental Algorithm is better or worse than its competitors, and we speculate about implications for reference in complex domains, and for learning from "normal" (i.e.,…

Lintean, Mihai; Rus, Vasile; Azevedo, Roger – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2012
This article describes the problem of detecting the student mental models, i.e. students' knowledge states, during the self-regulatory activity of prior knowledge activation in MetaTutor, an intelligent tutoring system that teaches students self-regulation skills while learning complex science topics. The article presents several approaches to…

Mejia-Ramos, Juan Pablo; Inglis, Matthew – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2011
The way words are used in natural language can influence how the same words are understood by students in formal educational contexts. Here we argue that this so-called semantic contamination effect plays a role in determining how students engage with mathematical proof, a fundamental aspect of learning mathematics. Analyses of responses to…

Muzheve, Michael T.; Capraro, Robert M. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2012
Using qualitative data collection and analyses techniques, we examined mathematical representations used by sixteen (N=16) teachers while teaching the concepts of converting among fractions, decimals, and percents. We also studied representational choices by their students (N=581). In addition to using geometric figures and manipulatives, teachers…

Osterholm, Magnus – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
This study compares reading comprehension of three different texts: two mathematical texts and one historical text. The two mathematical texts both present basic concepts of group theory, but one does it using mathematical symbols and the other only uses natural language. A total of 95 upper secondary and university students read one of the…
