Stefan Ruseti; Mihai Dascalu; Amy M. Johnson; Renu Balyan; Kristopher J. Kopp; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2018
This study assesses the extent to which machine learning techniques can be used to predict question quality. An algorithm based on textual complexity indices was previously developed to assess question quality to provide feedback on questions generated by students within iSTART (an intelligent tutoring system that teaches reading strategies). In…

Balyan, Renu; Crossley, Scott A.; Brown, William, III; Karter, Andrew J.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Liu, Jennifer Y.; Lyles, Courtney R.; Schillinger, Dean – Grantee Submission, 2019
Limited health literacy is a barrier to optimal healthcare delivery and outcomes. Current measures requiring patients to self-report limitations are time-consuming and may be considered intrusive by some. This makes widespread classification of patient health literacy challenging. The objective of this study was to develop and validate…

Schillinger, Dean; Balyan, Renu; Crossley, Scott A.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Liu, Jennifer Y.; Karter, Andrew J. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Objective: To develop novel, scalable, and valid literacy profiles for identifying limited health literacy patients by harnessing natural language processing. Data Source: With respect to the linguistic content, we analyzed 283 216 secure messages sent by 6941 diabetes patients to physicians within an integrated system's electronic portal.…
