• Abstract: Grading of examination papers is a hectic, time-labor intensive task and is often subjected to inefficiency and bias in checking. This research project is a primitive experiment in the automation of grading of theoretical answers written in exams by students in technical courses which yet had continued to be human graded. In this paper, we show how the algorithmic approach in machine learning can be used to automatically examine and grade theoretical content in exam answer papers. Bag of words, their vectors & centroids, and a few semantic and lexical text features have been used overall. Machine learning models have been implemented on datasets manually built from exams given by graduating students enrolled in technical courses. These models have been compared to show the effectiveness of each model.

  We introduce an algorithm to check Proof Puzzles based on finding correct sequences of proof lines that improves fairness compared to an existing, edit distance based algorithm. A higher-level language and open-source tool to specify regular expressions makes creating complex regular expressions less error-prone. We evaluate the resulting e-exam by analyzing the degree of automation in the grading process, asking students for their opinion, and critically reviewing our own experiences.

• Human-in-the-Loop Disinformation Detection: Stance, Sentiment, or Something Else? [93.91375268580806]
  Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.
