Ulrike Padó; Yunus Eryilmaz; Larissa Kirschner – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2024
Short-Answer Grading (SAG) is a time-consuming task for teachers that automated SAG models have long promised to make easier. However, there are three challenges for their broad-scale adoption: A technical challenge regarding the need for high-quality models, which is exacerbated for languages with fewer resources than English; a usability…

Stefan Ruseti; Ionut Paraschiv; Mihai Dascalu; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2024
Automated Essay Scoring (AES) is a well-studied problem in Natural Language Processing applied in education. Solutions vary from handcrafted linguistic features to large Transformer-based models, implying a significant effort in feature extraction and model implementation. We introduce a novel Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) pipeline…

Moxon, Simon – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2021
A significant barrier to effective communication in a second language is the awareness and accurate reproduction of phonetic sounds absent in the mother tongue. This study investigated whether the automated evaluation of phonetic accuracy using speech recognition technology could improve the pronunciation skills of 105 (88 female, 17 male) Thai…

Soylu, Ahmet; Modritscher, Felix; Wild, Fridolin; De Causmaecker, Patrick; Desmet, Piet – Program: Electronic Library and Information Systems, 2012
Purpose: Mashups have been studied extensively in the literature; nevertheless, the large body of work in this area focuses on service/data level integration and leaves UI level integration, hence UI mashups, almost unexplored. The latter generates digital environments in which participating sources exist as individual entities; member…
