• Title: Combining Automatic Coding and Instructor Input to Generate ENA Visualizations for Asynchronous Online Discussion
• Authors: Marcia Moraes, Sadaf Ghaffari, Yanye Luther, and James Folkestad
• Abstract summary: We present an approach that uses Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and the instructor's keywords to automatically extract codes from a relatively small dataset. We use the generated codes to build an Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) model and compare this model with a previous ENA model built by human coders.

• Abstract: Asynchronous online discussions are a common fundamental tool to facilitate social interaction in hybrid and online courses. However, instructors lack the tools to accomplish the overwhelming task of evaluating asynchronous online discussion activities. In this paper we present an approach that uses Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and the instructor's keywords to automatically extract codes from a relatively small dataset. We use the generated codes to build an Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) model and compare this model with a previous ENA model built by human coders. The results show that there is no statistical difference between the two models. We present an analysis of these models and discuss the potential use of ENA as a visualization to help instructors evaluating asynchronous online discussions.

  OnDiscuss is a learning analytics visualization tool for instructors that utilize text mining algorithms and Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) Text mining is used to generate an initial codebook for the instructor as well as automatically code the data. This tool allows instructors to edit their codebook and then dynamically view the resulting ENA networks for the entire class and individual students.

  RAVEN is a model that combines retrieval-augmented masked language modeling and prefix language modeling.

  We introduce self-distillation and online clustering for self-supervised speech representation learning (DinoSR) DinoSR first extracts contextualized embeddings from the input audio with a teacher network, then runs an online clustering system on the embeddings to yield a machine-discovered phone inventory, and finally uses the discretized tokens to guide a student network. We show that DinoSR surpasses previous state-of-the-art performance in several downstream tasks, and provide a detailed analysis of the model and the learned discrete units.

  Large neural models (such as Transformers) achieve state-of-the-art performance for information retrieval (IR) We propose a novel distillation approach that leverages the relative geometry among queries and documents learned by the large teacher model. We show that our approach successfully distills from both dual-encoder (DE) and cross-encoder (CE) teacher models to 1/10th size asymmetric students that can retain 95-97% of the teacher performance.

  We propose a novel NLP task for self-tracking that extracts close- and open-ended information from a retrospective activity log. The framework augments the prompt using synthetic samples to transform the task into 10-shot learning, to address a cold-start problem in bootstrapping a new tracking topic.

  We devise a novel Dynamic Representation Learning model for Sequential Recommendation (DRL-SRe) To better model the user-item interactions for characterizing the dynamics from both sides, the proposed model builds a global user-item interaction graph for each time slice. To enable the model to capture fine-grained temporal information, we propose an auxiliary temporal prediction task over consecutive time slices.

  We propose a process for bootstrapping training datasets which can be performed quickly by non-NLP-experts. We take advantage of search engines over syntactic-graphs which expose a friendly by-example syntax. We show that the resulting models are competitive with models trained on manually annotated data and on data obtained from distant supervision.

  A new class of physics-based methods related to Koopman theory has been introduced, offering an alternative for processing nonlinear dynamical systems. We propose a novel Consistent Koopman Autoencoder model which, unlike the majority of existing work, leverages the forward and backward dynamics. Key to our approach is a new analysis which explores the interplay between consistent dynamics and their associated Koopman operators.
