Use of AEE Technology for Feedback Generating on Written Text: A Revolution in Academic Writing Domain

Abstract

AEE, a computer-generated grading system that delivers written comments on the quality of written texts, is the topic of this book. It is already possible to find both commercial and non-commercial AEE applications that feature a scoring engine that provides automatic scores based on techniques like artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and latent semantic analysis. AEE scoring engines are taught using human ratings, and AEE is being used for summative assessments in tests such as the TOEFL and the Graduate Management Admissions Test, in combination with human ratings. In addition to spoken feedback, many AEE programmes also incorporate written feedback in the form of comments and corrections. Using written AEE feedback to give formative input in writing courses has grown in popularity in recent years, especially in American schools at the secondary and postsecondary levels. The book is a follow-up to Automated Essay Scoring: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach, which was published in 2003 and is the subject of this volume.
