Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically assessing authorship of written work and progress toward successful completion of written tasks, such as academic or professional writing assignments are provided. Such systems and methods can include tracking research and writing tasks performed within a research application environment over time in connection creating an assignment document for a user account, extracting evaluation data from the research and writing tasks, and executing an assignment evaluation engine to generate a score for the assignment document based on the evaluation data.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a communication interface;
- processing circuitry;
- and
- program code executable by the processing circuitry,
- wherein, the communication interface is configured to electronically receive an assignment document and pass the assignment document to the processing circuitry,
- wherein, responsive to receiving the assignment document, the processing circuitry is configured to execute a first portion of the program code to identify a user account associated with the assignment document, identify a memory location associated with the user account, and retrieve evaluation data for the assignment document from the memory location,
- wherein, the processing circuitry is configured to execute a second portion of the program code associated with an assignment evaluation engine,
- wherein the assignment evaluation engine is configured to:
- generate a first linguistic analysis of the assignment document and a second linguistic analysis of an outline,
- compare the first linguistic analysis with the second linguistic analysis to identify a similarity metric, and
- use the similarity metric to generate a score for the assignment document, and
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to execute a third portion of the program code to direct the communication interface to transmit the score to a user device.
