Corey Palermo from Measurement Incorporated and Joshua Wilson from the University of Delaware
In this session, Corey Palermo from Measurement Incorporated and Joshua Wilson from the University of Delaware will present their research on AWE tools. The session will begin with an overview of various lines of AWE research. Following this, the speakers will summarize the results of two focal studies: one investigating Elementary English learners’ engagement with automated feedback and another examining the causal impact of AWE on student writing outcomes. The session will conclude with implications and recommendations for researchers and developers of AWE tools. Participants will also have the opportunity for questions and discussion.
We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research associate to work in the machine learning for education (ML4Ed) research group, led by Andrew Lan, at UMass. Research directions:
First, natural language processing (NLP) for education, including large language model (LLM)-based student modeling, question/feedback/learning content generation, automated scoring and student error diagnosis, etc.
Second, building a national cyberinfrastructure for transforming STEM education, a $90M project funded via NSF’s mid-scale research infrastructure-2 program.
Ideal candidates have a strong publication record in relevant areas. Applicants should have a PhD degree (by the time they start) in computer science or a related field (e.g., education, psychology).
Please send your CV to andrewlan@cs.umass.edu if interested.
