title = "Feature Group Importance for Automated Essay Scoring",
abstract = "One of the challenges in essay scoring is that it is highly subjective to the human graders. There have been numerous research projects conducted on improving computerised Automated Essay Scoring (AES). AES systems generally rely on hand-crafted linguistic features to construct a classification model for essay scoring. The majority of the AES systems{\textquoteright} classification algorithm inputs are based on three main feature groups; lexical, grammatical, and semantic feature groups. This paper presents an empirical study to explore the influence of each feature group on the performance of AES classification models based on a general approach of the AES system. The results uncovered that the grammatical and semantic feature groups are lacking due to their poor performance and typical over-fitting of the classification models when using the features in the feature group.",
