Jaurès S. H. Kameni; Bernabé Batchakui; Roger Nkambou – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2025
The majority of Sub-Saharan African countries are facing a very negative teacher-learner ratio: one teacher for over 120 learners. In order to support the learner training, we propose optimizing search engines for learning contexts, to enable learners to take optimal advantage of the vast reservoir of Open Educational Resources (OER) available on…

Wonkyung Choi; Jun Jo; Geraldine Torrisi-Steele – International Journal of Adult Education and Technology, 2024
Despite best efforts, the student experience remains poorly understood. One under-explored approach to understanding the student experience is the use of big data analytics. The reported study is a work in progress aimed at exploring the value of big data methods for understanding the student experience. A big data analysis of an open dataset of…

Jones, Michael N. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Abstraction is a core principle of Distributional Semantic Models (DSMs) that learn semantic representations for words by applying dimensional reduction to statistical redundancies in language. Although the posited learning mechanisms vary widely, virtually all DSMs are prototype models in that they create a single abstract representation of a…

Cai, Zhiqiang; Siebert-Evenstone, Amanda; Eagan, Brendan; Shaffer, David Williamson; Hu, Xiangen; Graesser, Arthur C. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Coding is a process of assigning meaning to a given piece of evidence. Evidence may be found in a variety of data types, including documents, research interviews, posts from social media, conversations from learning platforms, or any source of data that may provide insights for the questions under qualitative study. In this study, we focus on text…

Anglin, Kylie L. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2019
Education researchers have traditionally faced severe data limitations in studying local policy variation; administrative data sets capture only a fraction of districts' policy decisions, and it can be expensive to collect more nuanced implementation data from teachers and leaders. Natural language processing and web-scraping techniques can help…

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…

Machado, Crystiano José Richard; Maciel, Alexandre Magno Andrade; Rodrigues, Rodrigo Lins – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2019
Discussion forums in learning management systems (LMS) have been shown to promote student interaction and contribute to the collaborative practice in the teaching-learning process. By evaluating the postings, teachers can identify students with learning difficulties. However, due to the large volume of posts that are generated on a daily basis in…

Alqady, Mohammed – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The construction industry is a knowledge intensive industry. Thousands of documents are generated by construction projects. Documents, as information carriers, must be managed effectively to ensure successful project management. The fact that a single project can produce thousands of documents and that a lot of the documents are generated in a…

Ezen-Can, Aysu; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2015
Within the landscape of educational data, textual natural language is an increasingly vast source of learning-centered interactions. In natural language dialogue, student contributions hold important information about knowledge and goals. Automatically modeling the dialogue act of these student utterances is crucial for scaling natural language…

Jarman, Jay – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This dissertation focuses on developing and evaluating hybrid approaches for analyzing free-form text in the medical domain. This research draws on natural language processing (NLP) techniques that are used to parse and extract concepts based on a controlled vocabulary. Once important concepts are extracted, additional machine learning algorithms,…

Mozgovoy, Maxim; Kakkonen, Tuomo; Cosma, Georgina – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
The availability and use of computers in teaching has seen an increase in the rate of plagiarism among students because of the wide availability of electronic texts online. While computer tools that have appeared in recent years are capable of detecting simple forms of plagiarism, such as copy-paste, a number of recent research studies devoted to…

Tan, Chade-Meng; Wang, Yuan-Fang; Lee, Chan-Do – Information Processing & Management, 2002
Presents an efficient text categorization (or text classification) algorithm for document retrieval of natural language texts that generates bigrams (two-word phrases) and uses the information gain metric, combined with various frequency thresholds. Experimental results suggest that the bigrams can substantially raise the quality of feature sets.…

Miller, Uri – Information Processing & Management, 1997
Discusses general problems of thesaurus construction theory and practice. Highlights include lexical control and its tools in various databases; natural language versus conceptual networks; systems approach; thesaurus versus classification, including associative relations; and thesaurus role in information storage and retrieval. (110 references)…

Zender, Mike; Crutcher, Keith A. – Visible Language, 2007
The accelerating rate of data generation and resulting publications are taxing the ability of scientific investigators to stay current with the emerging literature. This problem, acute in science, is not uncommon in other areas. New approaches to managing this explosion of information are needed. While it is only possible to read one paper or…
