## Ideas Mova took (1)

From the ideas ledger: an idea tried, kept or queued, or measured with no gain, and what it gave.

- **kept** — Critical-span ablation as a validity check of course questions: remove the critical sentence; the student should fall to guessing on that question. Questions still answered right are guessable from elsewhere or from the options and should be fixed or marked. *([STARC: Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/berzak-2020-starc-structured-annotations-reading-comprehension/) · critical-span ablation per lesson as the «key sentences removed» control (dba7f8c6e))*

## Papers

1. **[The Aligned Multimodal Movie Treebank: An audio, video, dependency-parse treebank](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/ud-2022-yaari-aligned-multimodal-movie-treebank-audio/)** *(2022)* The Aligned Multimodal Movie Treebank (AMMT) takes dialogue from Hollywood films, with word-level alignment to the audio and video, POS tags and UD dependency parses.
2. **[STARC: Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/berzak-2020-starc-structured-annotations-reading-comprehension/)** *(2020)* `1 idea kept` STARC is a scheme for four-option reading questions in which the options have fixed roles tied to marked text spans: A is right and rests on a «critical span»; B mentions the critical span but misunderstands it; C refers to a separate «distractor span»; D has no support in the text.
3. **[Classifying Syntactic Errors in Learner Language](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/choshen-2020-classifying-syntactic-errors-learner-language/)** *(2020)* The authors present SERCL, an automatic taxonomy and classifier for syntactic errors in learner language, where a syntactic error is one whose correction changes the part of speech, dependency relation or morphological features involved.
4. **[Universal Dependencies for Learner English](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/berzak-2016-universal-dependencies-learner-english/)** *(2016)* Much of the English written today is produced by non-native speakers, yet before this work there was no open syntactic treebank of learner English.
