Text-to-Text Semantic Similarity for Automatic Short Answer Grading
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we explore unsupervised techniques for the task of automatic short answer grading. We compare a number of knowledge-based and corpus-based measures of text similarity, evaluate the effect of domain and size on the corpus-based measures, and also introduce a novel technique to improve the performance of the system by integrating automatic feedback from the student answers. Overall, our system significantly and consistently outperforms other unsupervised methods for short answer grading that have been proposed in the past.

متن کاملShort Answer Grading Using String Similarity And Corpus-Based Similarity
Most automatic scoring systems use pattern based that requires a lot of hard and tedious work. These systems work in a supervised manner where predefined patterns and scoring rules are generated. This paper presents a different unsupervised approach which deals with students’ answers holistically using text to text similarity. Different String-based and Corpus-based similarity measures were tes...
متن کاملFast and Easy Short Answer Grading with High Accuracy
We present a fast, simple, and high-accuracy short answer grading system. Given a shortanswer question and its correct answer, key measures of the correctness of a student response can be derived from its semantic similarity with the correct answer. Our supervised model (1) utilizes recent advances in the identification of short-text similarity, and (2) augments text similarity features with ke...
متن کاملDistributed Vector Representations for Unsupervised Automatic Short Answer Grading
We address the problem of automatic short answer grading, evaluating a collection of approaches inspired by recent advances in distributional text representations. In addition, we propose an unsupervised approach for determining text similarity using one-to-many alignment of word vectors. We evaluate the proposed technique across two datasets from different domains, namely, computer science and...
