AGReE: A system for generating Automated Grammar Reading Exercises (2022.emnlp-demos)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | AGReE is a system that generates multiple-choice grammar practice items . common core standards for K-12 English literacy include grammar as a learning outcome . |
| Approach: | They propose a system that generates multiple-choice grammar practice exercises that can be completed while reading. |
| Outcome: | The proposed grammar-reading exercise system can be completed while reading . it offers immediate feedback, similar to a more formal incentive system . |
Controlled Language Generation for Language Learning Items (2022.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in pre-trained language models have resulted in success in generating fluent English text. |
| Approach: | They propose to employ natural language generation to rapidly generate English language items . they experiment with deep pretrained models and develop methods for controlling items for factors relevant in language learning . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework shows high grammatically scores for all models and higher complexity over baseline models. |
