Automatic Essay Scoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standardized tests are hampered by the manual effort required to score student-written essays. In this paper, we show how linear regression can be used to automatically grade essays on standardized tests. We combine simple, shallow features of the essays, such as character length and word length, with part-of-speech patterns. Our combined model gives significant reduction in prediction error. We discuss which features were effective in predicting scores.

متن کاملFactors Influencing Effectiveness in Automated Essay Scoring with LSA
This paper addresses the ongoing discussion on influencing factors of automatic essay scoring with latent semantic analysis (LSA). Throughout this paper, we contribute to this discussion by presenting evidence for the effects of the parameters text pre-processing, weighting, singular value dimensionality and type of similarity measure on the scoring results. We benchmark this effectiveness by c...
