Automatic Short Answer Marking
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 responses typed into a computer without having to create systems that fully understand the answers. This paper describes some of the techniques we have tried so far vis-à-vis this problem with results, discussion and description of the main issues encountered.

Using NLP to Support Scalable Assessment of Short Free Text Responses
Marking student responses to short answer questions raises particular issues for human markers, as well as for automatic marking systems. In this paper we present the Amati system, which aims to help human markers improve the speed and accuracy of their marking. Amati supports an educator in incrementally developing a set of automatic marking rules, which can then be applied to larger question ...
متن کاملPresentation of an efficient automatic short answer grading model based on combination of pseudo relevance feedback and semantic relatedness measures
Automatic short answer grading (ASAG) is the automated process of assessing answers based on natural language using computation methods and machine learning algorithms. Development of large-scale smart education systems on one hand and the importance of assessment as a key factor in the learning process and its confronted challenges, on the other hand, have significantly increased the need for ...

متن کاملUsing the text to evaluate short answers for reading comprehension exercises
Short answer questions for reading comprehension are a common task in foreign language learning. Automatic short answer scoring is the task of automatically assessing the semantic content of a student’s answer, marking it e.g. as correct or incorrect. While previous approaches mainly focused on comparing a learner answer to some reference answer provided by the teacher, we explore the use of th...
متن کاملA New Intelligent Methodology for Computer based Assessment of Short Answer Question based on a New Enhanced Soundex Phonetic Algorithm for Arabic Language
Today most e-tests that created using the commercial tools for etest generation or the Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Moodle or others don't provide a methodology for a perfect assessment of short answer questions. Unfortunately all of them provide a binary assessment that can be 1 (for completely True) or 0 (for completely false) even if the answer is partially true or partially fa...
