we are grateful to God that a paper arising from an Undergraduate Research Experience on Campus (URECA) student-project has been identified as a Showcase at this year's Research Symposium of the Centre for Information Technology in Education, The University of Hong Kong (CITERS 2023).
the paper is titled Improving Code Readability For Novice Coders: a Tool For Actionable Feedback, and is affiliated with a Tertiary Research Fund grant that we were awarded by the Ministry of Education, Singapore, last year. our paper is the only academically-affiliated project themed on 'AI in education' identified to be Showcased at CITERS 2023.
we will share our work on the 20th of May, and its abstract reads:
The readability of code is a common issue that affects novice coders. This paper describes a tool that provides actionable feedback on code readability. The tool identifies a set of actionable features and uses them to train a model that can provide useful feedback to novice coders. The tool complements existing automated tools used for code correctness. This paper offers a practical solution for helping novice coders to become more proficient in coding.
