State-of-the-Art: Assessing Semantic Similarity in Automated Short-Answer Grading Systems

The use of semantic in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has sparked the interest of academics and businesses in various fields. One such field is Automated Short-answer Grading Systems (ASAGS) for automatically evaluating responses for similarity with the expected answer. ASAGS poses semantic chall...

Hooi, Y.K. The use of semantic in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has sparked the interest of academics and businesses in various fields. One such field is Automated Short-answer Grading Systems (ASAGS) for automatically evaluating responses for similarity with the expected answer. ASAGS poses semantic challenges because the responses of a topic are in the responder�s own words. This study is providing an in-depth analysis of work to improve the assessment of semantic similarity between corpora in natural language in the context of ASAGS. Three popular semantic approaches are corpus-based, knowledge-based, and deep learning are used to evaluate against the conventional methods in ASAGS. Finally, the gaps in knowledge are identified and new research areas are proposed. © 2022 NSP. 2022 Article NonPeerReviewed Amur, Z.H. and Hooi, Y.K.
