Misuse of scoring systems

Detecting Student Misuse of Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Recent research has indicated that misuse of intelligent tutoring software is correlated with substantially lower learning. Students who frequently engage in behavior termed “gaming the system” (behavior aimed at obtaining correct answers and advancing within the tutoring curriculum by systematically taking advantage of regularities in the software’s feedback and help) learn only 2/3 as much as...

Scoring systems in acne vulgaris.

Acne vulgaris remains one of the most common diseases afflicting humanity and it is the skin disease most commonly treated by physicians.[1] It is a disease of the pilosebaceous units, clinically characterized by seborrhea, comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and, in some cases, scarring.[2] Although easy to diagnose, the polymorphic nature of acne vulgaris and its varied extent of involvemen...

Neonatal disease severity scoring systems.

Illness severity scores have become widely used in neonatal intensive care. Primarily this has been to adjust the mortality observed in a particular hospital or population for the morbidity of their infants, and hence allow standardised comparisons to be performed. However, although risk correction has become relatively commonplace in relation to audit and research involving groups of infants, ...

Scoring Algorithms For Wordspotting Systems

When evaluating wordspotting systems, one normally compares receiver operating characteristic curves and different measures of accuracy. However, there are many other factors that are relevant to the system’s usability for searching speech. In this paper, we discuss both measures of quality for confidence scores and propose algorithms for producing scores that are optimal with respect to these ...
