In Automated Essay Scoring (AES) systems, many previous works have studied group fairness using the demographic features of essay writers. However, individual fairness also plays an important role in fair evaluation and has not been yet explored. Initialized by Dwork et al., the fundamental concept of individual fairness is "similar people…

Direct linkMyers, Matthew C.; Wilson, Joshua – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2023
This study evaluated the construct validity of six scoring traits of an automated writing evaluation (AWE) system called "MI Write." Persuasive essays (N = 100) written by students in grades 7 and 8 were randomized at the sentence-level using a script written with Python's NLTK module. Each persuasive essay was randomized 30 times (n =…

Nese, Joseph F. T.; Alonzo, Julie; Kamata, Akihito – Grantee Submission, 2016
The purpose of this study was to compare traditional oral reading fluency (ORF) measures to a computerized oral reading evaluation (CORE) system that uses speech recognition software. We applied a mixed model approach with two within-subject variables to test the mean WCPM score differences and the error rates between: passage length (25, 50, 85,…

Crossley, Scott A.; Kim, YouJin – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2019
The current study examined the effects of text-based relational (i.e., cohesion), propositional-specific (i.e., lexical), and syntactic features in a source text on subsequent integration of the source text in spoken responses. It further investigated the effects of word integration on human ratings of speaking performance while taking into…

Liu, Ming; Li, Yi; Xu, Weiwei; Liu, Li – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Writing an essay is a very important skill for students to master, but a difficult task for them to overcome. It is particularly true for English as Second Language (ESL) students in China. It would be very useful if students could receive timely and effective feedback about their writing. Automatic essay feedback generation is a challenging task,…

White, Sheida; Kim, Young Yee; Chen, Jing; Liu, Fei – National Center for Education Statistics, 2015
This study examined whether or not fourth-graders could fully demonstrate their writing skills on the computer and factors associated with their performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) computer-based writing assessment. The results suggest that high-performing fourth-graders (those who scored in the upper 20 percent…

Mesmer, Heidi Anne; Hiebert, Elfrieda H. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2015
The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSS/ELA) focus on building student capacity to read complex texts. The Standards provide an explicit text complexity staircase that maps text levels to grade levels. Furthermore, the Standards articulate a rationale to accelerate text levels across grades to ensure students are able to…
