CMU AI Seminar is sponsored by Fortive.

Following are the details of the talk:

*Title: *Transforming frenemies to collaborators: automated and peer
feedback

*Abstract: *As NLP and AI have made major advances, there has been a rise
of AI systems that seek to provide useful feedback to learners on complex,
open-ended tasks such as design projects, extended writing, and
presentations. In some circles, such systems are seen as competitive
alternatives to traditional teacher feedback or increasingly-popular peer
feedback systems. However, such automated feedback systems seem to be
struggling to be successful without time-consuming customization to each
specific task given to students. I will present the latest findings on why
and when peer feedback works, along with some experiences regarding the
relatively narrow role automated systems can currently play on their own.
The goal of the talk is to suggest new frontiers in AI-augmented peer
feedback systems.
