ABSTRACT
The research in this paper describes a Machine Learning technique called hierarchical text categorization which is used to solve the problem of finding equivalents from among different state and national education standards. The approach is based on a set of manually aligned standards and utilizes the hierarchical structure present in the standards to achieve a more accurate result. Details of this approach and its evaluation are presented.

Experimenting with the automatic assignment of educational standards to digital library content
JCDL '05: Proceedings of the 5th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesThis paper describes exploratory research concerning the automatic assignment of educational standards to lesson plans. An information retrieval based solution was proposed, and the results of several experiments are discussed. Results suggest the ...
Comparing CSTA K-12 computer science standards with Austrian curricula
WiPSCE '12: Proceedings of the 7th Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing EducationIn 2011, the CSTA has published a review of its K-12 Computer Science Standards. Aiming to assess the situation of Computer Science Education in Austria, we used these standards as an external level rod. For this purpose, we investigated to which degree ...
Standards or semantics for curriculum search?
JCDL '07: Proceedings of the 7th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesAligning digital library resources with national and state educational standards to help K-12 teachers search for relevant curriculum is an important issue in the digital library community. Aligning standards from different states promises to help ...
