There is, however, a risk that the pendulum may swing too far the other way and the existence of the congenital lesion be generally denied or forgotten. Fin...

Automatic Short Answer Marking

Our aim is to investigate computational linguistics (CL) techniques in marking short free text responses automatically. Successful automatic marking of free text answers would seem to presuppose an advanced level of performance in automated natural language understanding. However, recent advances in CL techniques have opened up the possibility of being able to automate the marking of free text ...

The goal of SemEval 2015 Task 3 (Subtask A, English) is to build systems that automatically distinguish between relevant and irrelevant content in forum threads. We extend a short answer assessment system ...
