Automated Speaking Assessment Using Language Technologies to Score Spontaneous Speech

Automated Speaking Assessment Using Language Technologies to Score Spontaneous Speech

Automated Speaking Assessment: Using Language Technologies to Score Spontaneous Speech provides a thorough overview of state-of-the-art automated speech scoring technology as it is currently used at Educational Testing Service (ETS). Its main focus is related to the automated scoring of spontaneous speech elicited by TOEFL iBT Speaking section items but other applications of speech scoring such as for more predictable spoken responses or responses provided in a dialogic setting are also discussed. The book begins with an in-depth overview of the nascent field of automated speech scoring—its history applications and challenges—followed by a discussion of psychometric considerations for automated speech scoring. The second and third parts discuss the integral main components of an automated speech scoring system as well as the different types of automatically generated measures extracted by the system features related to evaluate the speaking construct of communicative competence as measured defined by the TOEFL iBT Speaking assessment. Finally the last part of the book touches on more recent developments such as providing more detailed feedback on test takers’ spoken responses using speech features and scoring of dialogic speech. It concludes with a discussion summary and outlook on future developments in this area. Written with minimal technical details for the benefit of non-experts this book is an ideal resource for graduate students in courses on Language Testing and Assessment as well as teachers and researchers in applied linguistics. | Automated Speaking Assessment Using Language Technologies to Score Spontaneous Speech

Validation of Score Meaning for the Next Generation of Assessments The Use of Response Processes

Validation of Score Meaning for the Next Generation of Assessments The Use of Response Processes

Despite developments in research and practice on using examinee response process data in assessment design the use of such data in test validation is rare. Validation of Score Meaning in the Next Generation of Assessments Using Response Processes highlights the importance of validity evidence based on response processes and provides guidance to measurement researchers and practitioners in creating and using such evidence as a regular part of the assessment validation process. Response processes refer to approaches and behaviors of examinees when they interpret assessment situations and formulate and generate solutions as revealed through verbalizations eye movements response times or computer clicks. Such response process data can provide information about the extent to which items and tasks engage examinees in the intended ways. With contributions from the top researchers in the field of assessment this volume includes chapters that focus on methodological issues and on applications across multiple contexts of assessment interpretation and use. In Part I of this book contributors discuss the framing of validity as an evidence-based argument for the interpretation of the meaning of test scores the specifics of different methods of response process data collection and analysis and the use of response process data relative to issues of validation as highlighted in the joint standards on testing. In Part II chapter authors offer examples that illustrate the use of response process data in assessment validation. These cases are provided specifically to address issues related to the analysis and interpretation of performance on assessments of complex cognition assessments designed to inform classroom learning and instruction and assessments intended for students with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Systema Naturae 250 - The Linnaean Ark

Systema Naturae 250 - The Linnaean Ark

The advent of relational databasing and data storage capacity coupled with revolutionary advances in molecular sequencing technology and specimen imaging have led to a taxonomic renaissance. Systema Naturae 250 - The Linnaean Ark maps the origins of this renaissance beginning with Linnaeus through his apostles via the great unsung hero Charles Davies Sherbon — arguably the father of biodiversity informatics — up to the present day with the Planetary Biodiversity Inventories and into the future with the Encyclopedia of Life and web-based taxonomy. The book provides scientific historical and cultural documentation of the evolution of taxonomy and the successful adaptation of the Linnaean nomenclature system to that evolution. It underscores the importance of taxonomic accuracy not only for the classification of living organisms but for a more complete understanding of the living world and its biodiversity. The book also examines the role of technologies such as DNA sequencing specimen imaging and electronic data storage. A celebration of 250 years of the scientific naming of animals Systema Naturae 250 - The Linnaean Ark records and explores the history of zoological nomenclature and taxonomy detailing current and future activity in these fields. Descriptive taxonomy has been in decline despite the fact that the classification of organisms through taxonomic studies provides the foundation of our understanding of life forms. Packed with illustrations and tables this book establishes a vision for the future of descriptive taxonomy and marks the beginning of a period of rapid growth of taxonomic knowledge.

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Preterm infants grow poorly after birth and very commonly develop ex utero growth restriction (EUGR). However the risks and benefits of catch-up growth in preterm infants must be weighed and evidence addressing this warrants examination. Perinatal Growth and Nutrition explores the reasons for EUGR and the long-term effects on developmental outcome and on metabolic risks. It provides clear information on the risks and benefits of faster post-natal growth and catch-up growth in preterm infants and offers tools for better assessment of growth and earlier identification of faltering growth. This book is divided into three sections. The first section covers advances in preterm infant growth standards diagnosis and causes of EUGR and assessments of preterm infant diets. The second section considers the extensive human literature on the effects of in utero and ex utero growth restriction and catch-up growth on long-term metabolic outcomes—such as obesity insulin resistance type 2 diabetes and cardiac disease—and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes including cognition. It also examines evidence for the effect of growth on these outcomes in term and preterm infants. The final section of the book considers ways to reduce the incidence of EUGR in preterm infants and when EUGR does occur to optimize catch-up growth. Topics include assessment of dietary requirements of the diverse population of preterm infants examination of tools for prescribing nutrition to neonatal intensive care unit patients consideration of whether to customize or generalize nutrient intake and fortification of human milk. In addition the last chapter proposes using a Z-score growth chart for improved interpretation of growth data.

Overall this textbook is a perfect guide for interested researchers and students who wish to understand the rationale and methods of causal inference. Each chapter provides an R implementation of the introduced causal concepts and models and concludes with appropriate exercises. An-Shun Tai & Sheng-Hsuan Lin in BiometricsOne of the primary motivations for clinical trials and observational studies of humans is to infer cause and effect. Disentangling causation from confounding is of utmost importance. Fundamentals of Causal Inference explains and relates different methods of confounding adjustment in terms of potential outcomes and graphical models including standardization difference-in-differences estimation the front-door method instrumental variables estimation and propensity score methods. It also covers effect-measure modification precision variables mediation analyses and time-dependent confounding. Several real data examples simulation studies and analyses using R motivate the methods throughout. The book assumes familiarity with basic statistics and probability regression and R and is suitable for seniors or graduate students in statistics biostatistics and data science as well as PhD students in a wide variety of other disciplines including epidemiology pharmacy the health sciences education and the social economic and behavioral sciences. Beginning with a brief history and a review of essential elements of probability and statistics a unique feature of the book is its focus on real and simulated datasets with all binary variables to reduce complex methods down to their fundamentals. Calculus is not required but a willingness to tackle mathematical notation difficult concepts and intricate logical arguments is essential. While many real data examples are included the book also features the Double What-If Study based on simulated data with known causal mechanisms in the belief that the methods are best understood in circumstances where they are known to either succeed or fail.

Biology and Ecology of Aphids

Biology and Ecology of Aphids

Most people know of aphids as garden pests infesting the soft green tissues of plants in vast numbers and killing them by sucking out the sap. Indeed among the 4000 or so known species of aphids about 250 are pests and in temperate regions several are economically important agricultural pests that damage crops directly during feeding or act as vectors for plant pathogens. But aphids are also important model organisms in evolutionary biology and ecology because they combine a number of unique features such as complex life cycles involving the development of morphological distinct phenotypes (polyphenism) sexual and asexual reproduction strategies and changes of host plants. Aphids can also be regarded as holobionts because they are colonized by obligate and facultative microbes which enable them to feed exclusively on phloem sap and influence their resistance against pathogens parasitoids or environmental stress. This book combines fundamental information about aphids with chapters addressing state-of-the-art research in topics such as aphid-related phylogeny genome biology epigenetics and chemical ecology. | Biology and Ecology of Aphids
