Unstructured Information Management (Project, SS 2012)
Description
Life-long learning is more and more becoming a reality not just a slogan. People learn on their way to work using a smartphone or on the bus or at home on the couch. However, there either is limited learning material which can be used in such situations or it is very expensive. A way to overcome this drawbacks is using Natural Language Processing in order to automatically:
- create learning materials;
- augmenting learning materials;
- generate test items (e.g. multiple-choice or knowledge questions);
- assess free text answers;
- or determine the difficulty of test items or texts.
The projects will focus on applications in the learning scenario which can benefit from Natural Language Processing. In each project, a working prototype for some domain (e.g. language learning, computer science courses, etc.) is going to be implemented. Prototypes might be stand-alone applications or smartphone apps.
