Exploring Visual Access and Proactive AI Tutoring for Handwritten Mathematics

Handwritten work captures mathematical reasoning that learners may not express in typed or voice-dictated messages. We built a multimodal AI tutoring platform in which a phone camera gives the tutor a live view of learners' work on paper. In a randomized online study, 117 adults solved calculus problems with Text-Reactive, Visual-Reactive, or Visual-Proactive assistance. Analysis of 2,140 tutor messages showed that visual access shifted assistance toward checking ongoing work, while proactivity enhanced error identification and directive hints. Learners valued feedback grounded in their writing; those who received proactive help rated it as supportive, and about a third wanted it more often. These findings inform when tutors should intervene and what they should address. We release the platform, prompts, and instruments, together with 255,984 timestamped images of handwritten work linked to tutoring conversations, intervention decisions, and learning outcomes, to support multimodal tutoring systems that preserve the affordances of handwritten work while providing adaptive feedback.

Making Sense of Machine Learning: Integrating Youth's Conceptual, Creative, and Critical Understandings of AI

Understanding how youth make sense of machine learning and how learning about machine learning can be supported in and out of school is more relevant than ever before as young people interact with machine learning powered applications everyday; while connecting with friends, listening to music, playing games, or attending school. In this symposium, we present different perspectives on understanding how learners make sense of machine learning in their everyday lives, how sensemaking of machine learning can be supported in and out of school through the construction of applications, and how youth critically evaluate machine learning powered systems. We discuss how sensemaking of machine learning applications involves the development and integration of conceptual, creative, and critical understandings that are increasingly important to prepare youth to participate in the world.

Computational Sociolinguistics: A Survey

Language is a social phenomenon and variation is inherent to its social nature. Recently, there has been a surge of interest within the computational linguistics (CL) community in the social dimension of language. In this article we present a survey of the emerging field of "Computational Sociolinguistics" that reflects this increased interest. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of CL research on sociolinguistic themes, featuring topics such as the relation between language and social identity, language use in social interaction and multilingual communication. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential for synergy between the research communities involved, by showing how the large-scale data-driven methods that are widely used in CL can complement existing sociolinguistic studies, and how sociolinguistics can inform and challenge the methods and assumptions employed in CL studies. We hope to convey the possible benefits of a closer collaboration between the two communities and conclude with a discussion of open challenges.
