    Automatic Recommendation of Forum Threads and Reinforcement Activities in a Data Structure and Programming Course
    (MDPI, 2023-09-21) Plaza Morales, Laura; Araujo Serna, M. Lourdes; López Ostenero, Fernando; Martínez Romo, Juan
    Online learning is quickly becoming a popular choice instead of traditional education. One of its key advantages lies in the flexibility it offers, allowing individuals to tailor their learning experiences to their unique schedules and commitments. Moreover, online learning enhances accessibility to education, breaking down geographical and economical boundaries. In this study, we propose the use of advanced natural language processing techniques to design and implement a recommender that supports e-learning students by tailoring materials and reinforcement activities to students’ needs. When a student posts a query in the course forum, our recommender system provides links to other discussion threads where related questions have been raised and additional activities to reinforce the study of topics that have been challenging. We have developed a content-based recommender that utilizes an algorithm capable of extracting key phrases, terms, and embeddings that describe the concepts in the student query and those present in other conversations and reinforcement activities with high precision. The recommender considers the similarity of the concepts extracted from the query and those covered in the course discussion forum and the exercise database to recommend the most relevant content for the student. Our results indicate that we can recommend both posts and activities with high precision (above 80%) using key phrases to represent the textual content. The primary contributions of this research are three. Firstly, it centers on a remarkably specialized and novel domain; secondly, it introduces an effective recommendation approach exclusively guided by the student’s query. Thirdly, the recommendations not only provide answers to immediate questions, but also encourage further learning through the recommendation of supplementary activities.

    A systematic review on media bias detection: What is media bias, how it is expressed, and how to detect it
    (Elsevier, 2023-09-26) Rodrigo Ginés, Francisco Javier; Carrillo de Albornoz Cuadrado, Jorge Amando; Plaza Morales, Laura; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6235-6860
    Media bias and the intolerance of media outlets and citizens to deal with opposing points of view pose a threat to the proper functioning of democratic processes. In this respect, we present a systematic review of the literature related to media bias detection, in order to characterize and classify the different types of media bias, and to explore the state-of-the-art of automatic media bias detection systems. The main objectives of this paper were twofold. First, we framed information, misinformation and disinformation within a theoretical framework that allows us to differentiate the different existing misinformation problems such as us media bias, fake news, or propaganda. Second, we studied the state of the art of automatic media bias detection systems: analyzing the most recently used techniques and their results, listing the available resources and the most relevant datasets, and establishing a discussion about how to increase the maturity of this area. After doing a comprehensive literature review, we have identified and selected a total of 17 forms of media bias that can be classified depending on the context (e.g., coverage bias, gatekeeping bias, or statement bias), and on the author’s intention (e.g., spin bias, or ideology bias). We also reviewed, following the PRISMA methodology, the main automatic media bias detection systems that have been developed so far, selecting 63 relevant articles, from which we extracted the most used techniques; including non-deep learning methods (e.g., linguistic-based methods, and reported speech-based methods), and deep learning methods (e.g., RNNs-based methods, and transformers-based methods). Additionally, we listed and summarized 18 available datasets for the task of automatic media bias detection. In conclusion, the current methods for automatic media bias detection are still in their infancy and there is still a lot of potential for improvement in terms of accuracy and robustness. We have proposed some future research lines that could potentially contribute to the development of more advanced techniques.
