    --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 09:29:58 +0000 From: "Burstein, Jill" <jburstein@ets.org> Subject: HLT-NAACL 2003 Workshop: Educational Applications Using NLP

    Building Educational Applications Using Natural Language Processing HLT/NAACL 2003 Workshop May 31, 2003 Edmonton, Canada

    ***EXTENDED DEADLINE***

    <http://www.etstechnologies.com/NAACL> Overview There is an increased use of NLP-based educational applications for both large-scale assessment and classroom instruction. This has occurred for two primary reasons. First, there has been a significant increase in the availability of computers in schools, from elementary school to the university. Second, there has been notable development in computer-based educational applications that incorporate advanced methods in NLP that can be used to evaluate students' work. Educational applications have been developed across a variety of subject domains in automated evaluation of free-responses and intelligent tutoring. To date, these two research areas have remained autonomous. We hope that this workshop will facilitate communication between researchers who work on all types of instructional applications, for K-12, undergraduate, and graduate school. Since most of this work in NLP-based educational applications is text-based, we are especially interested in any work of this type that incorporates speech processing and other input/output modalities. We wish to expose the NLP research community to these technologies with the hope that they may see novel opportunities for use of their tools in an educational application.

    Call for Papers

    We are especially interested in submissions including, but not limited to:

    * Speech-based tools for educational technology * Innovative text analysis for evaluation of student writing with regard to: a) general writing quality, or b) accuracy of content for domain-specific responses * Text analysis methods to handle particular writing genres, such as legal or business writing, or creative aspects of writing * Intelligent tutoring systems that incorporate state-of-the-art NLP methods to evaluate response content, using either text- or speech-based analyses * Dialogue systems in education * understanding student input * generating the tutors' feedback * evaluation * Evaluation of NLP-based tools for education * Use of student response databases (text or speech) for tool building * Content-based scoring
