Grotoco@SLAM: Second Language Acquisition Modeling with Simple Features, Learners and Task-wise Models

Abstract

AbstractWe present our submission to the 2018 Duolingo Shared Task on Second Language Acquisition Modeling (SLAM). We focus on evaluating a range of features for the task, including user-derived measures, while examining how far we can get with a simple linear classifier. Our analysis reveals that errors differ per exercise format, which motivates our final and best-performing system: a task-wise (per exercise-format) model.
