Jia, Qinjin; Young, Mitchell; Xiao, Yunkai; Cui, Jialin; Liu, Chengyuan; Rashid, Parvez; Gehringer, Edward – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Providing timely feedback is crucial in promoting academic achievement and student success. However, for multifarious reasons (e.g., limited teaching resources), feedback often arrives too late for learners to act on the feedback and improve learning. Thus, automated feedback systems have emerged to tackle educational tasks in various domains,…

Balyan, Renu; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
While hierarchical machine learning approaches have been used to classify texts into different content areas, this approach has, to our knowledge, not been used in the automated assessment of text difficulty. This study compared the accuracy of four classification machine learning approaches (flat, one-vs-one, one-vs-all, and hierarchical) using…

Balyan, Renu; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2017
This study examined how machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques can be leveraged to assess the interpretive behavior that is required for successful literary text comprehension. We compared the accuracy of seven different machine learning classification algorithms in predicting human ratings of student essays about…

Huang, Tao; Liang, Mengyi; Yang, Huali; Li, Zhi; Yu, Tao; Hu, Shengze – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Influenced by COVID-19, online learning has become one of the most important forms of education in the world. In the era of intelligent education, knowledge tracing (KT) can provide excellent technical support for individualized teaching. For online learning, we come up with a new knowledge tracing method that integrates mathematical exercise…

Crossley, Scott; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Labrum, Matthew; Bradfield, Franklin; Dascalu, Mihai; Baker, Ryan S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
A number of studies have demonstrated strong links between students' language features (as found in spoken and written production) and their math performance. However, no studies have examined links between the students' language features and measures of their Math Identity. This project extends prior studies that use natural language processing…

Heiner, Cecily; Zachary, Joseph L. – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
Students in introductory programming classes often articulate their questions and information needs incompletely. Consequently, the automatic classification of student questions to provide automated tutorial responses is a challenging problem. This paper analyzes 411 questions from an introductory Java programming course by reducing the natural…

Zafra, Amelia; Ventura, Sebastian – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
The ability to predict a student's performance could be useful in a great number of different ways associated with university-level learning. In this paper, a grammar guided genetic programming algorithm, G3P-MI, has been applied to predict if the student will fail or pass a certain course and identifies activities to promote learning in a…
