Automated Personalized Feedback Improves Learning Gains in an Intelligent Tutoring System

no code implementations5 May 2020 Ekaterina Kochmar, Dung Do Vu, Robert Belfer, Varun Gupta, Iulian Vlad Serban, Joelle Pineau

Our model is used in Korbit, a large-scale dialogue-based ITS with thousands of students launched in 2019, and we demonstrate that the personalized feedback leads to considerable improvement in student learning outcomes and in the subjective evaluation of the feedback.

Multiresolution Recurrent Neural Networks: An Application to Dialogue Response Generation

4 code implementations2 Jun 2016 Iulian Vlad Serban, Tim Klinger, Gerald Tesauro, Kartik Talamadupula, Bo-Wen Zhou, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Courville

We introduce the multiresolution recurrent neural network, which extends the sequence-to-sequence framework to model natural language generation as two parallel discrete stochastic processes: a sequence of high-level coarse tokens, and a sequence of natural language tokens.
