Agenda

9:00 - 10:00AM: Introduction & Overview (Vasile Rus & Stephen Fancsali) [Presentation]

9:30 - 9:35AM: Break

9:35 - 10:05AM: Invited Speaker: Valerie Purdie-Greenaway, Columbia University - "Closing racial achievement gaps: What social psychology interventions in the classroom can teach us about equity in data sciences" [Presentation]

10:05 - 10:15AM: Break

10:15 - 10:45AM: Invited Speaker: Jared Bernstein, Analytic Measures, Inc. - "Automated Measures of Spoken Language for Monitoring, Adaptation, & Diagnosis" [Presentation]

Abstract: Presentation introduces the kinds of information that can be extracted from spoken interactions and notes how such information may be useful in Adaptive Instruction Systems. We describe the technology, task structure, and accuracy of three assessments (spanning 1999-2020) which score spoken performances to measure second language proficiency, basic reading, and mental status. The application of these methods to improvement of AISs is also presented.
