Symbolic assessment of free text answers in a second-language tutoring system
conference contribution
posted on 2009-05-01, 12:18 authored by Matthieu Hermet, Stan SzpakowiczWe present an approach to Computer-Assisted Assessment of free-text
material based on symbolic analysis of student input. The theory that
underlies this approach arises from previous work on DidaLect, a tutoring
system for second-language reading skill enhancement. The theory enables
the processing of free-text segments for assessment to operate without preencoded
reference material. A study based on a corpus of 48 student answers
to several types of questions has justified our approach, helped define a
methodology and design a prototype.
