Note: There will be a TagHelper Tools Tutorial at AI in Education 2007 .

The goal of our research is to develop text classification technology to address concerns specific to classifying sentences using coding schemes developed for behavioral research. A wide range of behavioral researchers including social scientists, psychologists, learning scientists, and education researchers collect, code, and analyze large quantities of natural language corpus data as an important part of their research. A particular focus of our work is developing text classification technology that performs well on highly skewed data sets, which is an active area of machine learning research.
