Comparing automatically detected reflective texts with human judgements

This paper reports on the descriptive results of an experiment comparing automatically detected reflective and not-reflective texts against human judgements. Based on the theory of reflective writing assessment and their operationalisation five elements of reflection were defined. For each element of reflection a set of indicators was developed, which automatically annotate texts regarding reflection based on the parameterisation with authoritative texts. Using a large blog corpus 149 texts were retrieved, which were either annotated as reflective or notreflective. An online survey was then used to gather human judgements for these texts. These two data sets were used to compare the quality of the reflection detection algorithm with human judgments. The analysis indicates the expected difference between reflective and not reflective texts

Affective automotive user interfaces

Technological progress in the fields of ubiquitous sensing and machine learning has been fueling the development of user-aware human-computer interaction in recent years. Especially natural user interfaces, like digital voice assistants, can benefit from understanding their users in order to provide a more naturalistic experience. Such systems can, for example, detect the emotional state of users and accordingly act in an empathic way. One major research field working on this topic is Affective Computing, where psycho-physiological measures, speech input, and facial expressions are used to sense human emotions. Affective data allows natural user interfaces to respond to emotions, providing promising perspectives not only for user experience design but also for safety aspects. In automotive environments, informed estimations of the driver’s state can potentially avoid dangerous errors and evoking positive emotions can improve the experience of driving. This dissertation explores Affective Automotive User Interfaces using two basic interaction paradigms: firstly, emotion regulation systems react to the current emotional state of the user based on live sensing data, allowing for quick interventions. Secondly, emotional interaction synthesizes experiences which resonate with the user on an emotional level. The constituted goals of these two interaction approaches are the promotion of safe behavior and an improvement of user experience. Promoting safe behavior through emotion regulation: Systems which detect and react to the driver’s state are expected to have great potential for improving road safety. This work presents a model and methods needed to investigate such systems and an exploration of several approaches to keep the driver in a safe state. The presented methods include techniques to induce emotions and to sample the emotional state of drivers. Three driving simulator studies investigate the impacts of emotionaware interventions in the form of implicit cues, visual mirroring and empathic speech synthesis. We envision emotion-awareness as a safety feature which can detect if a driver is unfit or in need of support, based on the propagation of robust emotion detection technology. Improving user experience with emotional interaction: Emotional perception is an essential part of user experience. This thesis entails methods to build emotional experiences derived from a variety of lab and simulator studies, expert feedback, car-storming sessions and design thinking workshops. Systems capable of adapting to the user’s preferences and traits in order to create an emotionally satisfactory user experience do not require the input of emotion detection. They rather create value through general knowledge about the user by adapting the output they generate. During this research, cultural and generational influences became evident, which have to be considered when implementing affective automotive user interfaces in future cars. We argue that the future of user-aware interaction lies in adapting not only to the driver’s preferences and settings but also to their current state. This paves the way for the regulation of safe behavior, especially in safety-critical environments like cars, and an improvement of the driving experience.Aktuelle Fortschritte in den Bereichen des Machine Learning und Ubiquitous Computing ermöglichen es heute adaptive Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen zu realisieren. Vor allem natürliche Interaktion, wie wir sie von Sprachassistenten kennen, profitiert von einem verbesserten Verständnis des Nutzerverhaltens. Zum Beispiel kann ein Assistent mit Informationen über den emotionalen Zustand des Nutzers natürlicher interagieren, vielleicht sogar Empathie zeigen. Affective Computing ist das damit verbundene Forschungsfeld, das sich damit beschäftigt menschliche Emotionen durch Beobachtung von physiologischen Daten, Sprache und Mimik zu erkennen.

Ein Einsatz im Fahrkontext könnte so vermeidbare Unfälle verringern und gleichzeitig Fahrer durch emotionale Interaktion begeistern. Diese Dissertation beleuchtet Affective Automotive User Interfaces – zu Deutsch in etwa Emotionsadaptive Benutzerschnittstellen im Fahrzeug – auf Basis zweier inhaltlicher Säulen: erstens benutzen wir Ansätze zur Emotionsregulierung, um im Falle gefährlicher Fahrerzustände einzugreifen.

Um sich den Vorlieben und Eigenschaften von Nutzern anzupassen wird nicht zwingend Emotionserkennung benötigt. Der Mehrwert solcher Systeme besteht vielmehr darin, auf Basis verfügbarer Verhaltensdaten ein emotional anspruchsvolles Erlebnis zu ermöglichen. In unserer Arbeit stoßen wir außerdem auf kulturelle und demografische Einflüsse, die es bei der Gestaltung von emotionsadaptiven Nutzerschnittstellen zu beachten gibt. Wir sehen die Zukunft nutzeradaptiver Interaktion im Fahrzeug nicht in einer rein verhaltensbasierten Anpassung, sondern erwarten ebenso emotionsbezogene Innovationen. Dadurch können zukünftige Systeme sicherheitsrelevantes Verhalten regulieren und gleichzeitig das Fortbestehen der Freude am Fahren ermöglichen

On driver behavior recognition for increased safety:A roadmap

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADASs) are used for increasing safety in the automotive domain, yet current ADASs notably operate without taking into account drivers’ states, e.g., whether she/he is emotionally apt to drive. In this paper, we first review the state-of-the-art of emotional and cognitive analysis for ADAS: we consider psychological models, the sensors needed for capturing physiological signals, and the typical algorithms used for human emotion classification. Our investigation highlights a lack of advanced Driver Monitoring Systems (DMSs) for ADASs, which could increase driving quality and security for both drivers and passengers. We then provide our view on a novel perception architecture for driver monitoring, built around the concept of Driver Complex State (DCS). DCS relies on multiple non-obtrusive sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for uncovering the driver state and uses it to implement innovative Human–Machine Interface (HMI) functionalities. This concept will be implemented and validated in the recently EU-funded NextPerception project, which is briefly introduced

Modeling Student Affective State Patterns during Self-Regulated Learning in Physics Playground

This dissertation research focuses on investigating the incidence of student self-regulated learning behavior, and examines patterns in student affective states that accompany such self-regulated behavior. This dissertation leverages prediction models of student affective states in the Physics Playground educational game platform to identify common patterns in student affective states during use of self-regulated learning behavior. In Study 1, prediction models of student affective states are developed in the context of the educational game environment Physics Playground, using affective state observations and computer log data that had already been collected as part of a larger project. The performances of student affective state prediction models generated using a combination of the computer log and observational data are then compared against those of similar prediction models generated using video data collected at the same time. In Study 2, I apply these affective state prediction models to generate predictions of student affective states on a broader set of data collected from students participants playing Physics Playground. In parallel, I define aggregated behavioral features that represent the self-observation and strategic planning components of self-regulated learning. Affective state predictions are then mapped to playground level attempts that contain these self-regulated learning behavioral features, and sequential pattern mining is applied to the affective state predictions to identify the most common patterns in student emotions. Findings from Study 1 demonstrate that both video data and interaction log data can be used to predict student affective states with significant accuracy. Since the video data is a direct measure of student emotions, it shows better performance across most affective states. However, the interaction log data can be collected natively by Physics Playground and is able to be generalized more easily to other learning environments. Findings from Study 2 suggest that self-regulatory behavior is closely associated with sustained periods of engaged concentration and .self-regulated learning behaviors are associated with transitions from negative affective states (confusion, frustration, and boredom) to the positive engaged concentration state. The results of this dissertation project demonstrate the power of measuring student affective states in real time and examining the temporal relationship to self-regulated learning behavior within an unstructured educational game platform. These results thus provide a building block for future research on the real-time assessment of student emotions and its relationship with self-regulated learning behaviors, particularly within online student-centered and self-directed learning contexts

Efficiency of Automated Detectors of Learner Engagement and Affect Compared with Traditional Observation Methods

This report investigates the costs of developing automated detectors of student affect and engagement and applying them at scale to the log files of students using educational software. We compare these costs and the accuracy of the computer-based observations with those of more traditional observation methods for detecting student engagement and affect. We discuss the potential for automated detectors to contribute to the development of adaptive and responsive educational software

Knowledge Elicitation Methods for Affect Modelling in Education

Research on the relationship between affect and cognition in Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) brings an important dimension to our understanding of how learning occurs and how it can be facilitated. Emotions are crucial to learning, but their nature, the conditions under which they occur, and their exact impact on learning for different learners in diverse contexts still needs to be mapped out. The study of affect during learning can be challenging, because emotions are subjective, fleeting phenomena that are often difficult for learners to report accurately and for observers to perceive reliably. Context forms an integral part of learners’ affect and the study thereof. This review provides a synthesis of the current knowledge elicitation methods that are used to aid the study of learners’ affect and to inform the design of intelligent technologies for learning. Advantages and disadvantages of the specific methods are discussed along with their respective potential for enhancing research in this area, and issues related to the interpretation of data that emerges as the result of their use. References to related research are also provided together with illustrative examples of where the individual methods have been used in the past. Therefore, this review is intended as a resource for methodological decision making for those who want to study emotions and their antecedents in AIEd contexts, i.e. where the aim is to inform the design and implementation of an intelligent learning environment or to evaluate its use and educational efficacy

인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼 사용에 대한 중국 교사의 인식

학위논문 (석사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 사범대학 교육학과, 2021. 2. 조영환.최근 교육 분야에서 인공지능(AI)의 도입이 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 특히 AI 기술과 학습 분석이 결합한 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼은 지금껏 실현되기 어려웠던 맞춤형 학습(personalized learning)과 적응적 학습(adaptive learning)에 도움이 될 수 있도록 발전하고 있다. 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼(AI-based education platform)은 학습자의 행동 추적 등을 통해 이들의 특성을 분석하고 진단을 제공한 뒤 분석 결과를 토대로 학습자에게 인지 수준에 맞는 맞춤형 학습자원과 피드백을 제공한다. 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼은 교사와 학생에게 실시간 학습 데이터와 분석 결과, 그리고 피드백을 제공할 수 있어 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 맞춤형 학습에 긍정적인 의미가 있다는 선행 연구도 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 기존 연구는 모델 개발의 차원에서나 엄밀한 실험실 환경에서 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼의 효과를 연구해왔으며, 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼에 대한 교사의 인식과 관련된 연구는 드물었다. 교사는 인공지능 교육 기술의 사용자이기 때문에 인공지능 교육 기술의 교육 도입에 있어 교사들의 인식과 의견은 중요하다. 본 연구는 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼을 활용하는 것에 대한 교사들의 인식을 탐구하였다. 아래 연구 문제를 다루기 위해 질적 연구를 시행하였다. 첫째, 중국 교사들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 중학교 교육에 활용 있어 어떠한 장점이 있다고 인식하는가? 둘째, 중국 교사들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼과 중학교 교수 활동 요소 간 어떠한 모순이 있다고 인식하는가? 셋째, 중국 교사들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼을 중학교 교육에 도입할 때 무엇이 필요하다고 인식하는가? 본 연구는 중국 교사들을 연구대상으로 온라인 심층 면담을 하였다. 문헌 리뷰를 통해 면담 질문지를 설계하되 눈덩이표집법 (snowball sampling)을 통해 중국 중학교 교사 14명을 연구참여자로 선정하였다. 선정된 교사들은 모두 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼 사용 경험이 있으며 각 교사를 대상으로 약 1시간 정도 면담을 진행하고 녹음하였다. 면담이 끝난 후 녹음 내용을 전사하였으며, 주제분석을 사용하여 면담 내용을 초기 코드 생성하고 면담 자료 속에서 주제를 도출하였다. 특히 연구 문제 2번의 경우, 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼 활용과 교수 학습활동 내 여러 요소 간의 모순을 분석하기 위해 활동이론을 연구의 틀로 이용하였다. 최종적으로 연구문제 1에 대한 주제 4개, 연구문제 2에 대한 주제 6개, 연구문제 3에 대한 주제 4개를 도출하였다. 연구 결과로 교사들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼의 장점에 대해 즉각적인 피드백 제공, 교수학습 지원, 교사의 업무량 감소 등으로 인식하였고, 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 다양한 교수학습 자원을 통합할 수 있다고 인식하였다. 아울러 교사들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼의 사용에 있어 기존의 교수학습 활동과 상충된 부분이 있다는 점을 인식하였다. 교사들은 기존 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼의 추천 모델이 차별화된 학생들에게 잘 적용되지 못한다는 것을 인식하였다. 그리고 기존 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 다양한 학습 자원을 잘 분류되지 못하기 때문에 교사들이 사용하기 불편하다. 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼을 이용할 때 교사의 지적재산권을 보호하기 위한 명확한 규제가 부족하다고 인식하였다. 이와 함께 학부모들은 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼을 사용함으로써 발생할 수 있는 학습자의 인터넷 남용과 시력 저하 문제를 우려하였다. 또 중국의 사회문화적 배경과 교육 특성으로 인해 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼을 활용하는 데 학생들의 글씨 쓰기 능력에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 학교 내 전자기기 사용 제한도 데이터 수집의 지속성과 효율성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 인식하였다. 교사들은 위의 문제들이 인공지능 교육 플랫폼 사용에 대한 규칙 마련과 인공지능 기술을 개선함으로써 완화될 수 있다고 인식하였다. 또한 교사의 실제 요구에 맞게 개발될 수 있도록 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼 개발 과정에 교육 전문가와 교사가 참여할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 중국 교사들이 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼에 대한 인식을 탐색하였으며, 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 교수학습에서의 장점과 문제점을 밝혔다. 아울러 본 연구는 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼이 교육 분야에 대규모로 도입될 수 있도록 규칙, 인공지능 기술, 그리고 교육 공학의 차원에서 사용 규범과 기술 개선을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 탐색한 내용이 향후 교육 분야의 인공지능 기반 교육 플랫폼 도입에 활용된다면 인공지능 교육 기술에 관한 연구의 발전에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.In recent years, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has attracted widespread attention. In particular, the AI-based education platform based on the combination of AI technology and learning analysis brings new light to the long-standing difficulties in personalized learning and adaptive learning. The AI-based education platform analyzes learners' characteristics by collecting their data and tracking their learning behavior. It then generates cognitive diagnosis for learners and provides them with personalized learning resources and adaptive feedback that match their cognitive level based on systematic analysis. With the help of the AI-based education platform, teachers and students can get real-time educational data and analysis result，as well as the feedback and treatment corresponding to the results. Previous studies have already demonstrated and proved its positive significance to personalized learning. However, these studies mostly start from a model development perspective or in a rigorous laboratory environment. There has been little research on teachers' perceptions of AI-based education platform. As a direct user of AI educational technologies, teachers' perceptions and suggestions are vital for introducing AIEd in education. In this study, the researcher explored teachers' perceptions of using AI-based education platform in teaching. The study conducted qualitative research to address the following research questions: 1) How do Chinese teachers perceive the advantages of AI-based education platforms for teaching and learning in secondary school? 2) How do Chinese teachers perceive the contradictions between AI-based education platforms and the secondary school system? 3）How do Chinese teachers suggest applying AI-based education platforms in secondary school? And it referred to the in-depth online interview with Chinese teachers who had experience with AI-based education platform. Interview questions were constructed through the literature review, and 14 secondary school teachers were selected by the snowball sampling method. The interviews lasted for an average of one hour per teacher and were transcribed from the audio recordings to text documents when finished. Afterward, the data were analyzed using thematic analysis, including generating initial codes, searching and reviewing the categories, and deriving the themes finally. Notably, for research question two, the researcher used the activity theory framework to analyze the contradictions among the use of the AI-based education platform and the various elements of the teaching and learning activities. Finally, four themes for research question 1, six themes for research question 2, and four themes for research question 3 were derived. As for the advantages, teachers believe that AI-based education platforms can provide instant feedback, targeted and systematic teaching support, and reduce teachers' workload. At the same time, AI-based education platforms can also integrate teaching resources in different areas. Teachers also recognized that the AI-based education platforms might trigger contradictions in existing teaching activities. They are aware of the situation that the recommended model of the AI-based education platform is not suitable for all levels of students; that a large number of learning resources are not classified properly enough to meet the needs of teachers, and that there lack clear rules and regulations to protect teachers' intellectual property rights when using the platform. Besides, parents are also concerned about the potential risk of internet addiction and vision problems using AI-based education platforms. Moreover, the use of the AI-based education platform may also affect students' ability to write Chinese characters due to the socio-historical background and educational characteristics in China. Furthermore, the restricted use of electronic devices on campus may also impact the consistent and effective education data collection. Teachers believe that these problems can be solved by improving rules and AI technology. Moreover, to make the platform more in line with the actual teaching requirements, teachers and education experts can also be involved in the development process of AI-based education platform. This study explored how Chinese teachers perceive the AI-based education platform and found that the AI-based education platform was conducive to personalized teaching and learning. At the same time, this study put forward some suggestions from the perspective of rules, AI technology, and educational technology, hoping to provide a good value for the future large-scale introduction of AI-based education platforms in education.CHAPTER 1.
