ESSAY ASSESSMENT 1 Running head: ESSAY ASSESSMENT Essay Assessment with Latent Semantic Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is an automated, statistical technique for comparing the semantic similarity of words or documents. In this paper, I examine the application of LSA to automated essay scoring. I compare LSA methods to earlier statistical methods for assessing essay quality, and critically review contemporary essay-scoring systems built on LSA, including the Intelligent Essay Assessor, Summary Street, State the Essence, Apex, and Select-a-Kibitzer. Finally, I discuss current avenues of research, including LSA’s application to computer-measured readability assessment and to automatic summarization of student essays.
