Subjective Evaluation using LSA Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Information and communication technologies are effectively used in educational administration and teaching-learning process. There is a need to utilize them for educational evaluation. Subjective evaluation and assessment are essential part of education system. For evaluation of subjective examinations, several statistical and mathematical techniques such as Latent semantic analysis, and maximum entropy are being used. Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is one such technique used for evaluation of non-technical prose. In this paper LSA technique is applied to evaluation of technical answers. The LSA algorithm clusters the text into groups on the basis of similarity. The detailed LSA algorithm is included in the paper. A prototype based on the LSA algorithm is developed using softcomputing platform MatLab and the programming language Java. The prototype so developed has been tested by conducting class tests of students of under-graduate classes of computer science courses. The results are analyzed and observed to be satisfactory. It is concluded that LSA technique can also be applied for the evaluation of technical answers.

متن کاملUsing Latent Semantic Analysis in Text Summarization and Summary Evaluation
This paper deals with using latent semantic analysis in text summarization. We describe a generic text summarization method which uses the latent semantic analysis technique to identify semantically important sentences. This method has been further improved. Then we propose two new evaluation methods based on LSA, which measure content similarity between an original document and its summary. In...

Latent semantic analysis (LSA) has been used in several intelligent tutoring systems(ITS’s) for assessing students’ learning by evaluating their answers to questions in the tutoring domain. It is based on word-document cooccurrence statistics in the training corpus and a dimensionality reduction technique. However, it doesn’t consider the word-order or syntactic information, which can improve t...

Computerized Evaluation of English Essays is performed using Machine learning techniques like Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Generalized LSA, Bilingual Evaluation Understudy and Maximum Entropy. Ontology, a concept map of domain knowledge, can enhance the performance of these techniques. Use of Ontology makes the evaluation process holistic as presence of keywords, synonyms, the right word com...
متن کاملMeasuring MT Adequacy Using Latent Semantic Analysis
Translation adequacy is defined as the amount of semantic content from the source language document that is conveyed in the target language document. As such, it is more difficult to measure than intelligibility since semantic content must be measured in two documents and then compared. Latent Semantic Analysis is a content measurement technique used in language learner evaluation that exhibits...
