“With the increasing popularity of learning Chinese as a second language (L2) the development of an automatic essay scoring (AES) method specially for Chinese L2 essays has become animportant task. To build a robust model that could easily adapt to prompt changes we propose 90linguistic features with consideration of both language complexity and correctness and introducethe Ordinal Logistic Regression model that explicitly combines these linguistic features and low-level textual representations. Our model obtains a high QWK of 0.714 a low RMSE of 1.516 anda considerable Pearson correlation of 0.734. With a simple linear model we further analyze the contribution of the linguistic features to score prediction revealing the model’s interpretability and its potential to give writing feedback to users. This work provides insights and establishes asolid baseline for Chinese L2 AES studies.”
