How does E-rater understands the reasoning

by goelmohit2002 » Thu Aug 20, 2009 11:16 am
Hi All,

Can someone please tell how does E-rater understands the reasoning that we put forth for the AWA essays.....or it just checks the grammar/syntax ?

As per my understanding computer cannot interpret the meaning what we write....at max it can understand the syntax...

I am a bit puzzled and curious to know how does E-rater gives the rating to any of the essay....because two people can write the exact same essay in entirely different way....

Thanks

My nerdy boyfriend told me the exact same thing: it shouldn't work, since essays are distinctively personal/subjective.

They say that it tests something like 50 different characteristics... I'd be curious what those 50 characteristics are...
