Structural events, (i.e., the structure of clauses and disfluencies) in spontaneous speech, are important components of human speaking and have been used to measure language development. However, they have not been actively used in automated speech assessment research. Given the recent substantial progress on automated structural event detection on spontaneous speech, we investigated the detect...

This paper introduces the ARCADE (Automated Reading Comprehension Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation) system which is an automated psychometric diagnostic reading comprehension assessment tool based upon contempory theories of reading comprehension. ARCADE attempts to identify the presence of particular components of a reader’s understanding of a text from open-ended free response data. An em...

The kinetics and success of an industrial fermentation are dependent upon the health microorganism(s) responsible. Saccharomyces sp. most commonly used organisms in food beverage production; consequently, many metrics yeast stress have been previously correlated with morphological changes to fermentations kinetics. Many researchers industries use machine vision count assess through dyes image a...

This paper presents Alloy4Fun, a web application that enables online editing and sharing of Alloy models instances (including dynamic ones developed with the Electrum extension), to be used mainly in an educational context. By introducing secret paragraphs commands models, Alloy4Fun allows distribution automated assessment simple specification challenges, mechanism students learn language at th...
