# Neural Essay Assessor #

An automatic essay scoring system based on convolutional and recurrent neural networks, including GRU and LSTM.

### Set Up ###

* Install Keras (with Theano backend)
* Prepare data
* Run train_nea.py

### Data ###

We have used 5-fold cross validation on ASAP dataset to evaluate our system. This dataset (training_set_rel3.tsv) can be downloaded from [here](https://www.kaggle.com/c/asap-aes/data). After downloading the file, put it in the [data](https://github.com/nusnlp/nea/tree/master/data) directory and create training, development and test data using ```preprocess_asap.py``` script:

```bash
cd data
python preprocess_asap.py -i training_set_rel3.tsv
```

### Options ###

You can see the list of available options by running:
```bash
python train_nea.py -h
```
### Example ###

The following command trains a model for prompt 1 in the ASAP dataset, using the training and development data from fold 0 and evaluates it.

```bash
THEANO_FLAGS="device=gpu0,floatX=float32" python train_nea.py
-tr data/fold_0/train.tsv
-tu data/fold_0/dev.tsv
-ts data/fold_0/test.tsv
-p 1 # Prompt ID
--emb embeddings.w2v.txt
-o output_dir
```
