In AI-ED research, providing feedback for learning entails measuring differences among learners; between learners and their desired characteristics (e.g., knowledge, competences, motivation, self-regulation processes); or between learners and their looked-for resources (e.g. web-links, articles, courses) has often been performed by computing and analysing ‘distances’ using several techniques like factorial analysis, instance-based learning, clustering, and so on. Corpora on which these measures are made are all writing-based, that is, are multiple forms of pieces of evidence such as texts read (written by teachers), spoken utterances, essays, summaries, forum or chat messages. Some of these metrics are based on shallow syntactical and morphological aspects of the interaction and production artefacts (e.g., text length). Others are focused more on semantic and pragmatic aspects. These measures are used for providing various kinds of feedback for supporting learning and connections between learners. For instance, relations between learners’ utterances, knowledge, concept acquisition, emotional states, essay scores, and even learners themselves have all been investigated with the help of computing semantic distances.
