• Abstract: Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) are widely used in colleges and universities. Typically SET results are summarized for instructors in a static PDF report. The report often includes summary statistics for quantitative ratings and an unsorted list of open-ended student comments. The lack of organization and summarization of the raw comments hinders those interpreting the reports from fully utilizing informative feedback, making accurate inferences, and designing appropriate instructional improvements. In this work, we introduce a novel system, SETSum, that leverages sentiment analysis, aspect extraction, summarization, and visualization techniques to provide organized illustrations of SET findings to instructors and other reviewers. Ten university professors from diverse departments serve as evaluators of the system and all agree that SETSum helps them interpret SET results more efficiently; and 6 out of 10 instructors prefer our system over the standard static PDF report (while the remaining 4 would like to have both). This demonstrates that our work holds the potential to reform the SET reporting conventions in the future. Our code is available at https://github.com/evahuyn/SETSum

  Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are important sources of feedback for educators. A collection of SETs can also be useful to administrators as signals for courses or entire programs. We discuss a novel method for analyzing SETs using natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs)

  Detailed feedback on courses and lecture content is essential for their improvement and also serves as a tool for reflection. The article used a digital survey format as formative feedback which attempts to measure student stress in a quantitative part and to address the participants' reflection in a qualitative part. The results show a low, but constant rate of feedback. Responses mostly cover topics of the lecture content or organizational aspects and were intensively used to report issues within the lecture.

  We have developed an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to review students' Excel submissions and provide individualized feedback automatically. Although the lecturer only needs to provide one reference solution, the students' submissions are analyzed automatically. To take the students' learning level into account, we have developed feedback levels for an ITS that provide gradually more information about the error.

  Multimodal integration of text, layout and visual information has achieved SOTA results in visually rich document understanding (VrDU) tasks, including relation extraction (RE) Here, we demonstrate the value of shared representations for RE tasks by conducting experiments in which each data type is iteratively excluded during training. While a bimodal text and layout approach performs best, we show that text is the most important single predictor of entity relations.

  We propose to evaluate the summary qualities without reference summaries by unsupervised contrastive learning. Specifically, we design a new metric which covers both linguistic qualities and semantic informativeness based on BERT. Experiments on Newsroom and CNN/Daily Mail demonstrate that our new evaluation method outperforms other metrics even without reference summaries.
