Essays are a pivotal component of conventional exams; accurately, efficiently, and effectively grading them is significant challenge for educators. Automated essay scoring (AES) complex task that utilizes computer technology to assist teachers in scoring. Traditional AES techniques only focus on shallow linguistic features based the criteria, ignoring influence deep semantic features. The model...

Joshua Brown, Adam Mikeal, and Alysha Clark provided substantial feedback that greatly enhanced the value and clarity of the information in this article. Abstract Two of the largest Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) organizations have chosen different methods for the way they will score and provide feedback on essays students submit. EdX, MIT and Harvard’s non-profit MOOC federation, recently a...

In addition to the standard test security issues, automated scoring provides new opportunities for students to deliberately misrepresent their ability. Gaming of essays can take many forms including repetition of words and sentences, incorporation of context irrelevant words, phrases, or sentences, plagiarism, and the insertion of “malicious” sequences of characters such as HTML web page markup...

introduction: it is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion spect.  we aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using qps (quantitative perfusion spect) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress  score (sss), summed rest score (srs) and summed difference score (sds). ...

A " hot topic " in educational measurement is the area of computerized essay test evaluation. As essays have been incorporated into many of the standardized testing programs, and computerized testing is being implemented in more and more instances, there are many instances of where computers have evaluated the essay portion of standardized tests. In an environment where humans typically evaluat...

Under the framework of the argumentation scheme theory (Walton, 1996), we developed annotation protocols for an argumentative writing task to support identification and classification of the arguments being made in essays. Each annotation protocol defined argumentation schemes (i.e., reasoning patterns) in a given writing prompt and listed questions to help evaluate an argument based on these s...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To verify the reliability and validity of automated scoring and compare it to that of manual scoring for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea using an Embletta X100 level 2 portable device. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS A total of 116 patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea who had successfully received portable polysomnography with the Embletta X100 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of 2 automated systems, Morpheus and Somnolyzer24X7, with various levels of human review/editing, in scoring polysomnographic (PSG) recordings from a clinical trial using zolpidem in a model of transient insomnia. METHODS 164 all-night PSG recordings from 82 subjects collected during 2 nights of sleep, one under placebo and one under zolpidem (10 mg) trea...

Abstract This study provides an overview of research on teachers’ use artificial intelligence (AI) applications and machine learning methods to analyze data. Our analysis showed that AI offers teachers several opportunities for improved planning (e.g., by defining students’ needs familiarizing with such needs), implementation through immediate feedback teacher intervention), assessment automate...
