Sarah Mohamed Hassan, Aly A., Mohammad El‐Ramly · International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications · 2018
Automatic scoring systems for students’ short answers can eliminate from instructors the burden of grading large number of test questions and facilitate performing even more assessments during lectures especially when number of students is large. This paper presents a supervised learning approach for short answer automatic scoring based on paragraph embeddings. We review significant deep learning based models for generating paragraph embeddings and present a detailed empirical study of how the choice of paragraph embedding model influences accuracy in the task of automatic scoring.
