CARE: Collaborative AI-Assisted Reading Environment

Understand

Recent years have seen impressive progress in AI-assisted writing, yet the developments in AI-assisted reading are lacking.

• We propose inline commentary as a natural vehicle for AI-based reading assistance, and present CARE: the first open integrated platform for the study of inline commentary and reading.
• CARE facilitates data collection for inline commentaries in a commonplace collaborative reading environment, and provides a framework for enhancing reading with NLP-based assistance, such as text classification, generation or question answering.
• The extensible behavioral logging allows unique insights into the reading and commenting behavior, and flexible configuration makes the platform easy to deploy in new scenarios.
