(co-located with ACL 2020)

*Submission Deadline: Monday, April 6, 2020, 11:59pm EST*
*WORKSHOP 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*
