Gautam, Dipesh; Maharjan, Nabin; Graesser, Arthur C.; Rus, Vasile – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
This work is a step towards full automation of auto-mentoring processes in multi-player online environments such as virtual internships. We focus on automatically identifying speaker's intentions, i.e. the speech acts of chat utterances, in such virtual internships. Particularly, we explore several machine learning methods to categorize speech…

Rus, Vasile; Gautam, Dipesh; Swiecki, Zachari; Shaffer, David W.; Graesser, Arthur C. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Engineering virtual internships are simulations where students role play as interns at fictional companies, working to create engineering designs. To improve the scalability of these virtual internships, a reliable automated assessment system for tasks submitted by students is necessary. Therefore, we propose a machine learning approach to…

Rus, Vasile; Lintean, Mihai; Azevedo, Roger – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
This paper presents several methods to automatically detecting students' mental models in MetaTutor, an intelligent tutoring system that teaches students self-regulatory processes during learning of complex science topics. In particular, we focus on detecting students' mental models based on student-generated paragraphs during prior knowledge…
