Automatic Essay Scoring
Neural models for essay scoring for TOEFL essays (https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2014T06) and ASAP essays (http://www.kaggle.com/c/asap-aes).
The models are pretrained using a discourse marker prediction task, natural language inference task, or using pretrained text representation from BERT (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf) or USE (https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en//pubs/archive/46808.pdf).

Ostendorf, Proceedings of the 14th Workshop on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications at ACL 2019.
