|field_description=Quote: Here is a software tool that can translate written text summaries directly into proximity files (prx) that can be analyzed by [http://interlinkinc.net/KNOT.html Pathfinder KNOT]. It also generates text proposition files that can be imported by [http://cmap.ihmc.us/download/ CMAP Tools] to automatically form concept maps from the text. It should be of use to researchers who want to visualize "text" for various instructional and research-related reasons. Also it should work with different languages. | |field_description=Quote from the [http://www.personal.psu.edu/rbc4/score.htm software home page] (11/2014): Here is a software tool that can translate written text summaries directly into proximity files (prx) that can be analyzed by [http://interlinkinc.net/KNOT.html Pathfinder KNOT].

ALA-Reader contains a rudimentary scoring system. Essentially, this tool converts the written summary into a cognitive map and then scores the cognitive map using an approach that we developed for scoring concept maps. The "score" produced is percent agreement with an expert referent. As I narrow down what algorithms work, then I plan to release updated versions periodically. | ALA-Reader contains a rudimentary scoring system.
