1) Automated answer grading: Objective of this work is to explore textual features and machine learning models to automatically grade the student provided free text answers. This work makes use of semantic similarity, contrast/negation detection and argumentative text analysis to predict grade with help of regression models.
2) Augmenting Learner Experience: This work aims at augmenting learner experience by augmenting learning materials with additional information. Categories of augmentations include automated assessment item generation for text and video based learning materials, video lecture navigation through automated topic map generation, linking important parts of learning materials with external resources (e.g., Wikipedia, animation, games etc.)
3) Graph Machine Learning: Deep learning over network or graph data is gaining importance as it can model domains where the information does not have regular structure (e.g. social networks, knowledge graphs, biological information networks). We focus on theoretical and practical problems in this domain.
