|---|---|---|
| Research Type | Experimental | We demonstrate BBook X1, a novel system that automatically builds in collaboration with a user online open books by searching open educational resources (OER). |
| Researcher Affiliation | Academia | Information Sciences and Technology, Computer Science and Engineering, Teaching and Learning with Technology The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 {cul226,sxw327,zzw109,kwilliams,bkp10,bjb40,sps20,hrw115,kbowen}@psu.edu, giles@ist.psu.edu |
| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes the system's processes in prose but does not provide any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper provides a URL (https://book.tlt.psu.edu/) which appears to be a project demonstration page rather than a specific code repository. There is no explicit statement about releasing the source code for the methodology. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | BBook X is currently using a Wiki dump of Aug 5, 2015 which consists of more than 4.9 million English Wiki articles. Besides Wikipedia, we are also collecting through web crawling existing online open access textbooks. Available data sources include Wikibooks2, Saylor Academy3, Open Stax College4, etc. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes the collection and indexing of OER, but it does not specify any formal training, validation, or test dataset splits or percentages. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper describes the software used (e.g., Node application, Sailsjs, Emberjs, Mongo DB, Apache Solr) but does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the system or experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions 'Apache Solr' and the 'Maui tool' as well as 'Sailsjs and Emberjs' for the web application, but it does not provide specific version numbers for these software components, which is required for reproducibility. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper describes the system's functionality and processes (e.g., preprocessing, similarity calculation, query reformulation) but does not specify concrete experimental setup details such as hyperparameters or training configurations. |
