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.…

Magliano, Joseph P.; Lampi, Jodi P.; Ray, Melissa; Chan, Greta – Grantee Submission, 2020
Coherent mental models for successful comprehension require inferences that establish semantic "bridges" between discourse constituents and "elaborations" that incorporate relevant background knowledge. While it is established that individual differences in the extent to which postsecondary students engage in these processes…

Sennott, Samuel C.; Akagi, Linda; Lee, Mary; Rhodes, Anthony – Topics in Language Disorders, 2019
Artificially intelligent tools have given us the capability to use technology to address ever more complex challenges. What are the capabilities, challenges, and hazards of incorporating and developing this technology for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)? "Artificial intelligence" (AI) can be defined as the capability of…

Burstein, Jill; McCaffrey, Daniel; Beigman Klebanov, Beata; Ling, Guangming; Holtzman, Steven – Grantee Submission, 2019
Writing is a challenge and a potential obstacle for students in U.S. 4-year postsecondary institutions lacking prerequisite writing skills. This study aims to address the research question: Is there a relationship between specific features (analytics) in coursework writing and broader success predictors? Knowledge about this relationship could…

Vittorini, Pierpaolo; Menini, Stefano; Tonelli, Sara – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2021
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide hundreds of students with teaching materials, assessment tools, and collaborative instruments. The assessment activity, in particular, is demanding in terms of both time and effort; thus, the use of artificial intelligence can be useful to address and reduce the time and effort required. This paper…

Sinclair, Arabella J.; Schneider, Bertrand – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Collaborative dialogue is rich in conscious and subconscious coordination behaviours between participants. This work explores collaborative learner dialogue through theories of alignment, analysing inter-partner movement and language use with respect to our hypotheses: that they interrelate, and that they form predictors of collaboration quality…

Ranalli, Jim; Yamashita, Taichi – Language Learning & Technology, 2022
To the extent automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) tools such as Grammarly are based on sophisticated error-correction technologies, such as machine-learning techniques, they have the potential to find and correct more common L2 error types than simpler spelling and grammar checkers such as the one included in Microsoft Word (technically…

Lang, David; Wang, Alex; Dalal, Nathan; Paepcke, Andreas; Stevens, Mitchell L. – AERA Open, 2022
Committing to a major is a fateful step in an undergraduate education, yet the relationship between courses taken early in an academic career and ultimate major issuance remains little studied at scale. Using transcript data capturing the academic careers of 26,892 undergraduates enrolled at a private university between 2000 and 2020, we describe…

Taylor, Joshua; Kochem, Timothy – Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, 2022
Technology has paved the way for new modalities in language learning; however, indigenous populations often lack access to these tools. This critical literature review examines how researchers have tried to overcome this hurdle by reaching out to marginalized indigenous populations and providing access to emerging technologies. We used 63 texts…

Hsiao-Ling Hsu; Howard Hao-Jan Chen; Andrew G. Todd – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
With advances in technology, intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) have become available to assist users with a variety of tasks using voice commands. Because IPAs may induce dialogic interactions, researchers speculated that they may benefit second language learning, especially regarding pronunciation, listening and speaking skills. So far, very…

Li, Haiying; Cai, Zhiqiang; Graesser, Arthur – Grantee Submission, 2018
In this study we developed and evaluated a crowdsourcing-based latent semantic analysis (LSA) approach to computerized summary scoring (CSS). LSA is a frequently used mathematical component in CSS, where LSA similarity represents the extent to which the to-be-graded target summary is similar to a model summary or a set of exemplar summaries.…
