ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION, AIED 2015, Vol. 9112, pp. 205–215.
Contributors: S. Leeman-Munk n, A. Smith n , n, E. Wiebe n & J. Lester n
author keywords: Formative assessment; Multimodal assessment; Student writing analysis; Student sketch analysis
TL;DR:
This paper introduces a novel multimodal assessment framework that integrates two techniques for automatically analyzing student artifacts: a deep learning-based model for assessing student writing, and a topology-based models for assessingStudent drawing.

Generalizability of goal recognition models in narrative-centered learning environments
User modeling, adaptation, and personalization, umap 2014, 8538, 278–289.
TL;DR:
An approach to goal recognition that leverages Markov Logic Networks (MLNs)—a machine learning framework that combines probabilistic inference with first-order logical reasoning—to encode relations between problem-solving goals and discovery events, domain-specific representations of user progress in narrative-centered learning environments is described.

Leveraging semi-supervised learning to predict student problem-solving performance in narrative-centered learning environments
In Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) (pp. 664–665).
TL;DR:
Results suggest the semi-supervised machine-learning approach to predicting whether students will be successful in solving problem-solving tasks within narrative-centered learning environments often outperforms standard supervised learning methods.

Serious games go informal: a museum-centric perspective on intelligent game-based learning
Intelligent tutoring systems, its 2014, 8474, 410–415.
TL;DR:
Findings from a study investigating the influence of individual differences on learning and engagement in Future Worlds support the promise of intelligent game-based learning environments that dynamically recognize and adapt to learners’ individual differences during museum learning.

Modeling self-efficacy in intelligent tutoring systems: An inductive approach
USER MODELING AND USER-ADAPTED INTERACTION, 18(1-2), 81–123.
author keywords: affective user modeling; affective student modeling; self-efficacy; intelligent tutoring systems; inductive learning; human-computer interaction
TL;DR:
An inductive approach to automatically constructing models of self-efficacy that can be used at runtime to inform pedagogical decisions is investigated, based on two complementary empirical studies.
