Software Verification and Graph Similarity for Automated Evaluation of Students' Assignments
In this paper we promote introducing software verification and control flow
graph similarity measurement in automated evaluation of students' programs. We
present a new grading framework that merges results obtained by combination of
these two approaches with results obtained by automated testing, leading to
improved quality and precision of automated grading. These two approaches are
also useful in providing a comprehensible feedback that can help students to
improve the quality of their programs We also present our corresponding tools
that are publicly available and open source. The tools are based on LLVM
low-level intermediate code representation, so they could be applied to a
number of programming languages. Experimental evaluation of the proposed
grading framework is performed on a corpus of university students' programs
written in programming language C. Results of the experiments show that
automatically generated grades are highly correlated with manually determined
grades suggesting that the presented tools can find real-world applications in
studying and grading
Multimedia Development of English Vocabulary Learning in Primary School
In this paper, we describe a prototype of web-based intelligent handwriting education
system for autonomous learning of Bengali characters. Bengali language is used by more than
211 million people of India and Bangladesh. Due to the socio-economical limitation, all of the
population does not have the chance to go to school. This research project was aimed to develop
an intelligent Bengali handwriting education system. As an intelligent tutor, the system can
automatically check the handwriting errors, such as stroke production errors, stroke sequence
errors, stroke relationship errors and immediately provide a feedback to the students to correct
themselves. Our proposed system can be accessed from smartphone or iPhone that allows
students to do practice their Bengali handwriting at anytime and anywhere. Bengali is a
multi-stroke input characters with extremely long cursive shaped where it has stroke order
variability and stroke direction variability. Due to this structural limitation, recognition speed is
a crucial issue to apply traditional online handwriting recognition algorithm for Bengali
language learning. In this work, we have adopted hierarchical recognition approach to improve
the recognition speed that makes our system adaptable for web-based language learning. We
applied writing speed free recognition methodology together with hierarchical recognition
algorithm. It ensured the learning of all aged population, especially for children and older
national. The experimental results showed that our proposed hierarchical recognition algorithm
can provide higher accuracy than traditional multi-stroke recognition algorithm with more
writing variability
