A Wizard For Padi Assessment Design (Padi Technical Report 11)
In a first prototype, we implemented a wizard that prompts for some selection criteria, eventually matching the answers supplied by the interviewee to an existing template that already has a substantial amount of information entered.

Predicting State Test Scores Better With Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Developing Metrics To Measure Assistance Required
Our approach is to use data that the system collected through a year to tracking student learning and thus estimate their performance on a high-stake state test (MCAS) at the end of the year.

Reducing Human Fatigue in Interactive Evolutionary Computation through Fuzzy Systems and Machine Learning Systems
We describe two approaches to reducing human fatigue in Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). A predictor function is used to estimate the human user’s score, thus reducing the amount of effort required by the human user during the evolution process.

One-To-One Technology-Enhanced Learning: An Opportunity For Global Research Collaboration
We see that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), characterized by “seamless learning spaces” and marked by continuity of the learning experience across different scenarios (or environments), and emerging from the availability of one device or more per student (“one-to-one”).

Further Progress in Meeting Recognition: The ICSI-SRI Spring 2005 Speech-to-Text Evaluation System
We describe the development of our speech recognition system for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Spring 2005 Meeting Rich Transcription (RT-05S) evaluation, highlighting improvements made since last year.

Multitask Learning for Spoken Language Understanding
In this paper, we present a multitask learning (MTL) method for intent classification in goal oriented human-machine spoken dialog systems. MTL aims at training tasks in parallel while using a shared representation.

Theorizing The Transformed Classroom: A Sociocultural Interpretation Of The Effects Of Audience Response Systems In Higher Education
This paper explores the theoretical framework needed to explain observed effects of classrooms in which instructors use audience response systems. We propose a sociocultural reinterpretation of the networked classroom in which learning is described as a process of transforming participation in classroom activities.

Escherichia coli K-12: a cooperatively developed annotation snapshot 2005
The goal of this group project has been to coordinate and bring up-to-date information on all genes of Escherichia coli K-12. Annotation of the genome of an organism entails identification of genes, the boundaries of genes in terms of precise start and end sites, and description of the gene products.

Event Recognition in Airborne Motion Imagery
A system is described that detects high-level events of interest in airborne motion imagery.

Issues in Algorithm Characterization for Link Analysis
In this paper, we outline techniques for modeling algorithms that allow a system architecture to reason about their behavior and performance, individually and in combination.
