Intelligent Tutoring System for Evaluating Student Performance in Descriptive Answers Using Natural Language Processing

چکیده
Computer Assisted Assessment of free-text answers has established a great deal of work during the last years due to the need of evaluating the deep understanding of the lessons’ concepts that, according to most educators and researchers, cannot be done by simple MCQ testing. In this paper we have reviewed the techniques underpinned this system, the description of currently available systems for marking short free text response and finally proposed a system that would evaluate the descriptive type answers using Natural Language Processing and lastly compared the results obtain by human graders and proposed system. We have also compared the results of proposed system with existing systems.

متن کاملImproving Classification of Natural Language Answers to ITS Questions with Item-Specific Supervised Learning
In a natural language intelligent tutoring system, improving assessment of student input is a challenge that typically requires close collaboration between domain experts and NLP experts. This paper proposes a method for building small item-specific classifiers that would allow a domain expert author to improve quality of assessment for student input, through supervised tagging of a small numbe...

This paper presents a novel way of applying social navigation techniques to provide feedback to students in an intelligent tutoring system in the field of legal argumentation. Using this system, students study transcripts of US Supreme Court oral argument and annotate them by creating a graphical representation of argument flow as the Justices pose hypotheticals in order to challenge tests offe...
متن کاملLearning Greek with an Adaptive and Intelligent Hypermedia System
This paper reports on a course-support system for English learners of Greek which is built around an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS). Meaningful interaction between the learner and the system is achieved by a number of means: First, students provide natural language input rather than selecting exclusively from among pre-defined answers. Second, the ILTS uses Natural Language Process...
