Abstract

In this paper, we have explored some unsupervised techniques for the task of Automatic Short Answer Grading. Three models are designed for the task in hand, with each model evaluating and grading students’ responses individually. The proposed method has shown quite promising correlation between scores generated by the method and that awarded by human scorers on a standard computer science dataset, with the overall correlation reaching the peak value at 0.805 which outperforms the state-of-the-art results reported on this dataset so far.
