Abstract:

This book discusses the state of the art of automated essay scoring, its
challenges and its potential. One of the earliest applications of artificial
intelligence to language data (along with machine translation and speech
recognition), automated essay scoring has evolved to become both a
revenue-generating industry and a vast field of research, with many subfields
and connections to other NLP tasks. In this book, we review the developments
in this field against the backdrop of Elias Page's seminal 1966 paper titled
"The Imminence of Grading Essays by Computer."

Part 1 establishes what automated essay scoring is about, why it exists, where
the technology stands, and what are some of the main issues. In Part 2, the
book presents guided exercises to illustrate how one would go about building
and evaluating a simple automated scoring system, while Part 3 offers readers
a survey of the literature on different types of scoring models, the aspects
of essay quality studied in prior research, and the implementation and
evaluation of a scoring engine. Part 4 offers a broader view of the field
inclusive of some neighboring areas, and Part part 5 closes with summary and
discussion.

This book grew out of a week-long course on automated evaluation of language
production at the North American Summer School for Logic, Language, and
Information (NASSLLI), attended by advanced undergraduates and early-stage
graduate students from a variety of disciplines. Teachers of natural language
processing, in particular, will find that the book offers a useful foundation
for a supplemental module on automated scoring. Professionals and students in
linguistics, applied linguistics, educational technology, and other related
disciplines will also find the material here useful.
