Given a large number of incorrect responses to mathematical exercises, we ask, “What errors might the learner have made to arrive at their answer?” Even though our data does not contain intermediate steps, we find that we are able to infer well over 50% and sometimes over 90% of the types of errors learners make on an exercise when they only supply final answers. Our approach capitalizes on the...

This paper proposes an unsupervised approach that automatically detects and corrects a text containing multiple errors of both syntactic and semantic nature. The number of errors that can be corrected is equal to the number of correct words in the text. Error types include, but are not limited to: spelling errors, real-word spelling errors, typographical errors, unwanted words, missing words, p...

background : in most iranian hospitals, the nurses in the wards prepare intravenous (iv) drugs and unfortunately pharmacists are not involved in this process. the severity of the patients in intensive care unit (icu) heightens the risk of errors. more over the frequency of using iv drugs in this unit is high, so we decided to determine the frequency and types of errors, which occur in the prepa...

     Medication errors (MEs) are the most common error in ICUs. In fact, 78% of all serious errors in ICUs are due to MEs. Therefore, detecting MEs has vital significance. The goal of this study was to investigate the frequency, type and consequences of different types of errors including prescribing, transcribing and administration errors in an ICU of a large teaching hospital. Disguised direc...
