Tirthankar Dasgupta, Abir Naskar, Lipika Dey, Rupsa Saha · 2018

In this paper we present a qualitatively enhanced deep convolution recurrent neural network for computing the quality of a text in an automatic essay scoring task.The novelty of the work lies in the fact that instead of considering only the word and sentence representation of a text, we try to augment the different complex linguistic, cognitive and psychological features associated within a text document along with a hierarchical convolution recurrent neural network framework.Our preliminary investigation shows that incorporation of such qualitative feature vectors along with standard word/sentence embeddings can give us better understanding about improving the overall evaluation of the input essays.
