Ionita, Remus Florentin; Dascalu, Mihai; Corlatescu, Dragos-Georgian; McNamara, Danielle S – Grantee Submission, 2021
Exploring new or emerging research domains or subdomains can become overwhelming due to the magnitude of available resources and the high speed at which articles are published. As such, a tool that curates the information and underlines central entities, both authors and articles from a given research context, is highly desirable. Starting from…

Nicula, Bogdan; Perret, Cecile A.; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Theories of discourse argue that comprehension depends on the coherence of the learner's mental representation. Our aim is to create a reliable automated representation to estimate readers' level of comprehension based on different productions, namely self-explanations and answers to open-ended questions. Previous work relied on Cohesion Network…

Nicula, Bogdan; Perret, Cecile A.; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Open-ended comprehension questions are a common type of assessment used to evaluate how well students understand one of multiple documents. Our aim is to use natural language processing (NLP) to infer the level and type of inferencing within readers' answers to comprehension questions using linguistic and semantic features within their responses.…

Cai, Zhiqiang; Pennebaker, James W.; Eagan, Brendan; Shaffer, David W.; Dowell, Nia M.; Graesser, Arthur C. – Grantee Submission, 2017
This study investigates a possible way to analyze chat data from collaborative learning environments using epistemic network analysis and topic modeling. A 300-topic general topic model built from TASA (Touchstone Applied Science Associates) corpus was used in this study. 300 topic scores for each of the 15,670 utterances in our chat data were…
