ACL - 05 The Second Workshop on Building Educational Applications Using NLP

چکیده
1 We report experience in applying techniques for natural language processing to algorithmically generating test items for both reading and listening cloze items. We propose a word sense disambiguationbased method for locating sentences in which designated words carry specific senses, and apply a collocation-based method for selecting distractors that are necessary for multiple-choice cloze items. Experimental results indicate that our system was able to produce a usable item for every 1.6 items it returned. We also attempt to measure distance between sounds of words by considering phonetic features of the words. With the help of voice synthesizers, we were able to assist the task of composing listening cloze items. By providing both reading and listening cloze items, we would like to offer a somewhat adaptive system for assisting Taiwanese children in learning English vocabulary.

Automated Grammatical Error Correction for Language Learners
A fast growing area in Natural Language Processing is the use of automated tools for identifying and correcting grammatical errors made by language learners. This growth, in part, has been fueled by the needs of a large number of people in the world who are learning and using a second or foreign language. For example, it is estimated that there are currently over one billion people who are non-...

Improving Chinese Grammatical Error Correction with Corpus Augmentation and Hierarchical Phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation
In this study, we describe our system submitted to the 2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing Techniques for Educational Applications (NLP-TEA-2) shared task on Chinese grammatical error diagnosis (CGED). We use a statistical machine translation method already applied to several similar tasks (Brockett et al., 2006; Chiu et al., 2013; Zhao et al., 2014). In this research, we examine corpus...
متن کاملThe future of natural language processing for biomedical applications
The idea to convey researchers who applied natural language processing (NLP) methods to the medical domain and others who applied such methods to the bio-informatics domain is shared at different places. The European Commission will edit a white paper on potential synergies between medical informatics and bio-informatics before the end of 2002. The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA...
