BEETLE II: Deep natural language understanding and automatic feedback generation for intelligent tutoring in basic electricity and electronics
Within STEM domains, physics is considered to be one of the most difficult topics to master,
in part because many of the underlying principles are counter-intuitive. Effective teaching …

Adapting speaking after evidence of misrecognition: Local and global hyperarticulation
In this paper we examine the two-way relationship between hyperarticulation and evidence
of misrecognition of computer-directed speech. We report the results of an experiment in …
