OWLED 2014: Day 2 LiveBlogging [via OWL: Experiences and Directions Community Group]

I was a bit late, but here we go!

Chris Mungal asked yesterday for a link to the papers and/or slides. Here's the
link to proceedings:

I'll try to go back and link through directly and call for slides.



Tahani Alsubait, Bijan Parsia and Uli Sattler. Generating Multiple Choice
Questions From Ontologies: Lessons Learnt presented by Tahani

What is a MCQ and it's parts (stem, key, distractors)
Example of good and bad distractors.
What makes a good one: Item response theory: Tuned difficulty, low guess
ability, and right discrimination.

MCQ generation is difficult and time consuming and you need a lot of them (exam
coverage, security, and practice exams).

Automation!
Difficulty prediction. Needed to increase validity and exam quality. People are
bad at it.

Similarly conjecture (degree of similarity between keys and distractors is
proportional to difficulty). Existing measures didn't work so we developed new
ones (see ISWC poster).

Key questions: Can we control difficulty? Can we generate exams? Is it cost
effective?

Experiment description: 1) Build ontology. 2) Generate questions. 3) Expert (3
-- Two instructors and one domain expert) review. 4) Test with students.

Two rounds of student tests (in review session and online).

Usefulness rating: High heterogenity (only 1 question agreed upon by all
reviewers).
Distractor utility: For all 6 questions, 2 out of 3 distractor.
5 out of 6 questions the key was picked more frequently than the distractors.
Discrimination: in class better than online
Difficulty: 4 out of 6 correctly predicted by tool.

QA

QUESTION: About reusability: Often the labels are general and not specific for
domains, so may not be suitable. I.e., reusability in general might hurt
applicability.



Catherine Chavula and C. Maria Keet. Is Lemon Sufficient for Building
Multilingual Ontologies for Bantu Languages? presented by Maria.
