E-rater 原理分析及建议（请考生斟酌）

竹林中人

从网上找到了哥伦比亚那个研究E-rater的教授所发的关于E-rater原理论文，大致看了一下，说说我对付E-rater得方法，附件上论文。
E-rater 主要检查essay的
sturcture: 指文章的整体结构。通过句子的语法结构进行检验，E-rater主要来识别文章的各种语法结构，比如从句，非谓语动词等。
organization: 指论证的是否充分，通过检测各段主旨句后的论证内容，E-rater主要来识别各种承上启下的转介词，逻辑连接词等来判断论证的充分情况。
content: 通过检查作者用的词汇量是否丰富。大致原理是好的文章所用的词汇和好的文章用的词汇相同的多。而差的文章和差的文章所用的词汇相同的多。ETS会实现给每个题库，每个级别录入上百篇的文章，然后和你的文章和录入的文章进行比对，看看你的词汇量和哪个级别的文章相似度高。
建议：
1.不要老重复用一个单词，不行就会形式，主动变被动，名词动词形容词互相转换。2.单词拼写错误E-rater检查不出来，但是一些起到表示文章结构的单词千万别拼错，比如For example, therefore。影响E-rater对文章organization的评分。
3.尽量三个分论点，每个分论点主题句最好用从句形式写，各种从句变着套路用，一定要有开头段和结尾段。
4.支撑分论点的内容一定要充分，不行就多举例子。
5.要多多借鉴北美范文所用的词汇和句式，如果E-rater发现你的句式和词汇和6分水平的北美范文相似度高，肯定会给你高分了。

How international students should tackle the AWA and the E-rater.
The conventions for the AWA can be summarized in a single statement: written English requires that each paragraph be developed directly away from a topic (or thesis) sentence or directly towards a topic (or thesis) sentence. The former is known as deductive development; the latter is known as inductive development. Since this is the case for all English written prose it should be obvious that writers in English have less freedom to wander from the main point of their discourse than writers in other languages. English expository prose style must be direct and to the point even though it is necessary to support each main idea with examples, explanations, and illustrations. The thesis (or topic sentence) must contain the germ of the idea that permeates the entire paragraph. Each example or illustration must be connected to that idea with transitional markers such as for example, thus, or moreover.
The E-rater speaks "American."
Your essays should be written in "American", not "English". Phrases that are more commonly spoken in English (indeed, hence, etc..) are less common in an American writing style. Phrases that are commonly spoken in English are unlikely to be picked up by the E-rater, which picks up phrases used among high scorers (who are overwhelmingly American).
Students from the U.K., Hong Kong, India and other Commonwealth nations should adjust their syntax, style and language to better suit the flavor of English used in America. That is the language of the E-rater. Avoid any local jargon or particularly any unusual transitional phrases (e.g. "heretofore"). Got that mate? In addition, the human graders are overwhelmingly American and will have an easier time with arguments written in American.
Beware of words that have a non-American spelling:
"evidense" = evidence
"organisation"= organization
The best solution to writing in the appropriate style is to read all of our sample essays. You should also familiarize yourself with American scholarly journals to see how American writers structure arguments.


In light of the several talks that we've had recently about scoring essays and other free text response sections on tests, I came across this example of a poorly written essay that could get awarded a top grade from the E.T.S. e-Rater system.
The accompanying article notes the following flaws in the technology:
1. The e-Rater cannot decipher truth, so a student will not be penalized for writing that the War of 1812 started in 1945.
2. Longer essays (even if they are filled with nonsensical sentences) are awarded higher scores than shorter essays. The e-Rater also prefers long sentences to short.
3. When in doubt, using a big word in place of a smaller word increases one's score.
It's fascinating to see how far technology has evolved so that we can now use an algorithm to measure the quality and development of an argument -- and it's also interesting to see how much further there is to go before a computer scorer can fully replace a human grader.
