nlpsl 2010 - The Second Workshop on Natural Language Processing in Support of Learning: Metrics, Feedback and Connectivity

The Second Workshop on Natural Language Processing in Support of
Learning: Metrics, Feedback and Connectivity Call for Papers

Organized under the FP7 LTfLL Project (http://www.ltfll-project.org/)
September 14th 2010, Bucharest, ROMANIA
Aims: The purpose of this workshop is to focus on using language
technologies in support of learning and teaching - by trying to
identify what questions and problems are solved, but also to raise and
discuss how well the metrics and algorithms developed assist in the
provision of support and the construction of feedback for learning.
What are the most efficient ways? To what extent do they match
distances inferred by a teacher's assessments? The workshop addresses
the problem of how support can be provided and feedback be generated
in order to help students learn and teachers to assess their progress.
Several Natural Language Processing techniques like Latent Semantic
Analysis (LSA) or the use of semantic and pragmatic analysis of
conversations have been successfully deployed in various educational
applications to enrich learning and teaching with information
technology. However, few research approaches considered also in detail
the problem of providing feedback.
