Testing the actual equivalence of automatically generated items

A Novel Approach for Quantify Semantics of Automatically Generated Items

Testing the measurement equivalence of personality adjective items across cultures

Although previous research has examined cross-cultural differences in personality, many of these studies neglected to first establish that the measures being used were equivalent in meaning across cultures. Using samples of Chinese, Greek, and American respondents, the measurement equivalence of the Big Five Mini-Markers [Saucier, G. (1994). Mini-markers: A brief version of Goldberg’s unipolar ...

Information-based methods for evaluating the semantics of automatically generated test items

Multiple-choice questions are the popular type of test items that are used for testing the knowledge of health-science students in north America and elsewhere. The motivation of this article is to present the recent advances in the automatic item generation (AIG) and to propose a novel unsupervised approach that extends the information-based Compositional Distributional Semantic Model (CDSM) to...

Testing Event-driven Applications with Automatically Generated Events

To make use of the abundance of events produced by smart devices, social media, or the internet-of-things (IoT), implemented business processes need to integrate external events. Thus, processes are event-driven applications that need to be tested correspondingly. However, testing with real-world events is hard, because those events cannot be controlled. Therefore, we suggest to use generated e...

Analysing Media Coverage of political debates by automatically generated links to Radio & Newspaper Items

Students and researchers of media and communication sciences study the role of media in our society. They frequently search through media archives to manually select items that cover a certain event. When this is done for large time spans and across media-outlets, this task can however be challenging and laborious. Therefore, up until now the focus of researchers has been on manual and qualitat...
