Language Technologies and Learning Sciences

There is an interesting area emerging at the cross section of learning sciences and language technologies. Applying various language technologies including intelligent information retrieval, information extraction, personalization, summarization, and cross language information access to create or enhance an effective learning environment seem to be of immense benefit and promise.

Some of our (SIEL’s) past and current work can be applied to explore the role of personalized search and personalized summarization technologies in creating collaborative leaning environments.

We plan to collaborate with LTI of CMU in this area. Our project on Creation of Smart space in the classroom (funded by Nokia University Relations Program) also falls in this area.

    Actually, I did not understand the concept very well. Is there any place where I can understand better?

    The language technologies such as personalization and summarization are applied to provide better access to information in the context of education/learning sciences.

    I know not of any specific links that explain the strong intersection between these two areas (which indicates that this is a truly an emerging area and/or my ignorance) – but if anyone finds such links, please post them here.

  3. The language technologies such as great information.
    great concept.
