Choi, Ikkyu; Hao, Jiangang; Deane, Paul; Zhang, Mo – ETS Research Report Series, 2021
"Biometrics" are physical or behavioral human characteristics that can be used to identify a person. It is widely known that keystroke or typing dynamics for short, fixed texts (e.g., passwords) could serve as a behavioral biometric. In this study, we investigate whether keystroke data from essay responses can lead to a reliable…

Zechner, Klaus; Bejar, Isaac I.; Hemat, Ramin – ETS Research Report Series, 2007
The increasing availability and performance of computer-based testing has prompted more research on the automatic assessment of language and speaking proficiency. In this investigation, we evaluated the feasibility of using an off-the-shelf speech-recognition system for scoring speaking prompts from the LanguEdge field test of 2002. We first…
