Project Essay Grade by Measurement Incorporated (MI), is a great automated grading software that uses AI technology to read, understand , process and give you results.
By the use of the advanced statistical techniques found in this software, PEG can analyze written prose, make calculations based on more than 300 measurements (fluency, diction, grammar, construction, etc.), and can obtain results that look very similar to what a human analyzer would get – reliability and validity.
PEG also incorporates some of the latest leading technologies in areas like the natural language processing, semantic and syntactic analysis to offer you fully automated grading without seeming that it is done by a computer.
As in the case of most automated grading software, PEG uses a set of essays that were corrected by humans as a base of information. Starting from this base of information, PEG can use its artificial intelligence and assess how the essay was written, automatically. After the process of analysis is completed, PEG uses the data obtained to create statistical and linguistic models. The models obtained will used by the AI, to better understand the text written in the paper.
