Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using a case study, we show that variation in oral reading rate is consistent across readers. |
| Approach: | They propose to use text complexity to predict reading rate for professional narrators . they also show that variation can be explained by timing and story-based factors . |
| Outcome: | The authors show that variation in reading rate can be explained by features of the texts being read. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | atypical characteristics of some responses make it difficult for an automated scoring system to assign a valid score . a typical spoken response with a lot of background noise may suffer from frequent errors in automated speech recognition . |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline that detects and processes non-scorable responses at run-time . they also propose linguistic filtering models for spoken responses in language tests . |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline detects and processes non-scorable responses at run-time and evaluates them for spoken responses in language proficiency assessment. |
