Conference Purpose:
Natural Language Processing Techniques have been found to be
increasingly useful in the domains of assessment and education.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from
both the NLP, and assessment and education communities and to
share ideas about how NLP techniques can be implemented
to aid in tasks for assessment and education. Speakers are being
invited from industry and academia to discuss their research and
applications
of NLP in assessment and education. We anticipate that the
conference
will encourage on-going discussion between the NLP, and assessment
and
education communities.
Topics:
* NLP Techniques for Assessment of Natural Language Responses to Test
Items
* Computer-Aided Design in Education
* Automatic Spelling Correction for Automated Scoring of Natural
Language
Responses
* Intelligent Tutors
