Automated assessment: how confident are we?
J. Allan, T. Allen, Nasser Sherkat · 2003
This paper highlights the research issues associated with the automated assessment of handwritten scripts and introduces the theoretical scoring confidence. Using this concept, in a 3 word response environment, we prove that it is theoretically possible to achieve a scoring confidence greater than 98% using recognition rates as low as 81% to produce actual response yields of 50%. These results are verified by experiment.
