Computer Tutor Software Automatically Ranks Essays
Computer Tutor The Indianna Gazette has an enlightening article about software which can be used for teaching -- Computer Tutor. Based on an input consisting of hundreds of human-written essays, the software can learn to rate them. It uses some kind of AI that can learn which features are best for evaluating the essays. Then, by providing feedback to the pupils, they can get better at writing, assuming the software tells them where they lost marks! Notice how they used two quite attractive female eleventh-graders to demonstrate the point... now the question is; were they picked for their lack of computer skills, or for their photogenical profiles?! | Alex J.
