| Title | Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on Innovative Use of Natural Language Processing for Building Educational Applications |
| Body | 3rd Workshop on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications ACL 2008 Workshop: Columbus, Ohio, June, 2008 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Natural Language Processing based applications have had a profound effect on education in the areas of assessment and instruction. Early applications focused on writing for automated essay scoring, short-answer response scoring in assessment and intelligent tutoring, and grammatical error detection for proofreading. More recently, NLP has been introduced into additional educational contexts, including automated scoring of speech and text-based curriculum development for reading support. In addition, the earlier applications for grammatical error detection have greatly improved. Not only has the field improved existing capabilities, but as a community we are generating innovative and creative ways to use NLP in applications for multiple skill sets, including writing, reading, and speaking. The need for, and the rapid development of, language-based capability development in the United States and other Anglophone countries are driven by increased requirements for state/national assessments and a growing population of English language learners. In the past five years, steady growth in the area of NLP-based applications for education has prompted an increased number of workshops which typically focus on one specific aspect of NLP-based educational applications. In this workshop, we solicit papers from all subfields. Submission deadline: March 14, 2008. For submissions information, go to http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~tetreaul/acl-bea.html . |
