Dynamic early exiting has been proven to improve the inference speed of the pre-trained language model like BERT. However, all samples must go through all consecutive layers before early exiting and more complex samples usually go through…
COVID-19 has driven most schools to remote learning through online meeting software such as Zoom and Google Meet. Although this trend helps students continue learning without in-person classes, it removes a vital tool that teachers use to…
Teamwork is a necessary competency for students that is often inadequately assessed. Towards providing a formative assessment of student teamwork, an automated natural language processing approach was developed to identify teamwork…
With the rapid emergence of K-12 online learning platforms, a new era of education has been opened up. It is crucial to have a dropout warning framework to preemptively identify K-12 students who are at risk of dropping out of the online…
Transfer learning has been widely used in natural language processing through deep pretrained language models, such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers and Universal Sentence Encoder. Despite the great success,…
This paper describes our approach to the EmotionX-2019, the shared task of SocialNLP 2019. To detect emotion for each utterance of two datasets from the TV show Friends and Facebook chat log EmotionPush, we propose two-step deep learning…
Preventing student dropout is a major challenge in higher education and it is difficult to predict prior to enrolment which students are likely to drop out and which students are likely to succeed. High School GPA is a strong predictor of…
Education systems are dynamically changing to accommodate technological advances, industrial and societal needs, and to enhance students' learning journeys. Curriculum specialists and educators constantly revise taught subjects across…
Online conversations can be toxic and subjected to threats, abuse, or harassment. To identify toxic text comments, several deep learning and machine learning models have been proposed throughout the years. However, recent studies…
This study compares the effectiveness and robustness of multi-class categorization of Amazon product data using transfer learning on pre-trained contextualized language models. Specifically, we fine-tuned BERT and XLNet, two bidirectional…
Emotions are integral to human social interactions, with diverse responses elicited by various situational contexts. Particularly, the prevalence of negative emotional states has been correlated with negative outcomes for mental health,…
Sentiment analysis can provide a suitable lead for the tools used in software engineering along with the API recommendation systems and relevant libraries to be used. In this context, the existing tools like SentiCR, SentiStrength-SE, etc.…
The high level of attrition and low rate of certification in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has prompted a great deal of research. Prior researchers have focused on predicting dropout based upon behavioral features such as student…
Automatic emotion recognition plays a key role in computer-human interaction as it has the potential to enrich the next-generation artificial intelligence with emotional intelligence. It finds applications in customer and/or representative…
Emergency department triage relies heavily on both quantitative vital signs and qualitative clinical notes, yet multimodal machine learning models predicting triage acuity often suffer from modality collapse by over-relying on structured…
Generated hateful and toxic content by a portion of users in social media is a rising phenomenon that motivated researchers to dedicate substantial efforts to the challenging direction of hateful content identification. We not only need an…
Online learning is becoming increasingly popular, whether for convenience, to accommodate work hours, or simply to have the freedom to study from anywhere. Especially, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become the only viable option for…
Relevance has significant impact on user experience and business profit for e-commerce search platform. In this work, we propose a data-driven framework for search relevance prediction, by distilling knowledge from BERT and related…
