Meeting Description:

The BEA Workshop is a leading venue for NLP innovation in the context of
educational applications. It is one of the largest one-day workshops in the
ACL community with over 80 attendees in the past several years. The growing
interest in educational applications and a diverse community of researchers
involved resulted in the creation of the Special Interest Group in Educational
Applications (SIGEDU) in 2017, which currently has 191 members.

The 15th BEA workshop will have oral presentation sessions, large poster
session in order to maximize the amount of original work presented, as well as
an exciting invited talk by Mari Ostendorf. We expect that the workshop will
continue to highlight novel technologies and opportunities for educational NLP
in English as well as other languages. The workshop will solicit both full
papers and short papers for either oral or poster presentation. We will
solicit papers that incorporate NLP methods, including, but not limited to:
automated scoring of open-ended textual and spoken responses; game-based
instruction and assessment; educational data mining; intelligent tutoring;
peer review; grammatical error detection and correction; learner cognition;
spoken dialog; multimodal applications; tools for teachers and test
developers; and use of corpora. 

Invited Talk: Mari Ostendorf, University of Washington (Abstract coming soon!)
