The Foundations and Architecture of Autotutor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Tutoring Research Group at the University of Memphis is developing an intelligent tutoring system which takes advantages of recent technological advances in the areas of semantic processing of natural language, world knowledge representation, multimedia interfaces, and fuzzy descriptions. The tutoring interaction is based on in-depth studies of human tutors, both skilled and unskilled. Latent semantic analysis will be used to semantically process and provide a representation for the student's contributions. Fuzzy production rules select appropriate topics and tutor dialogue moves from a rich curriculum script. The production rules will implement a variety of di erent tutoring styles, from a basic untrained tutor to one which uses sophisticated pedagogical strategies. The tutor will be evaluated on the naturalness of its interaction, with Turing-style tests, by comparing di erent tutoring styles, and by judging

Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Cohesionless Soils: A Random Forest Based Approach
Determining the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is vital for design of shallow foundations. Recently, soft computing methods (i.e. artificial neural networks and support vector machines) have been used for this purpose. In this paper, Random Forest (RF) is utilized as a tree-based ensemble classifier for predicting the UBC of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The inputs of model are wi...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of a lesson authoring tool for AutoTutor
This paper describes the process of developing an Electronic Performance Support System (EPSS) for AutoTutor 3D. The new architecture of AutoTutor 3D has four models: Domain model, Student model, Tutor model and Interface model. To date, the complexity of authoring the scripts used by AutoTutor has presented a significant challenge. Creation of a tool to simplify this process gives us the abili...
متن کاملThe Autotutor 3 Architecture: A Software Architecture for an Expandable, High-Availability ITS
Providing high quality of service over the Internet to a variety of clients while simultaneously providing good pedagogy and extensibility for content creators and developers are key issues in the design of the computational architecture of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS). In this paper, we describe an ITS architecture that attempts to address both issues using a distributed hub-and-spoke ...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Student Learning Gains After Interacting with AutoTutor
The pedagogical effectiveness of two versions of AutoTutor was assessed in two student learning outcome studies. Sixty students enrolled in a computer literacy course received tutoring or reread material on two of the following topics: Hardware, Operating Systems, and the Internet. All participants then received a comprehension test on all three topics. A within-subjects design enabled the foll...
متن کاملWhat is the philosophy of Islamic architecture (analysis of discipline's philosophy in architecture based on observation theory)
Lack of attention to the philosophy of architecture as an intermediate science between general philosophy and architecture science has caused many researchers to link their research to philosophy without methodology. They introduce their research as the philosophy of Islamic architecture; While the philosophy of Islamic architecture is a kind of philosophy. The general philosophy merely provide...
متن کاملChristian Norberg-Schulz and the Existential Space
The historian-theoretician Christian Norberg-Schulz, examining the development of his ideas across 30 years. While Norberg-Schulz started out with Intentions in Architecture (1963), a work that was clearly influenced by structuralist studies, he soon shifted to a phenomenological approach with Existence, Space and Architecture (1971), and then with Genius Loci (1980) and The Concept of Dwelling...
