Machine Learning-Based Intelligent Scoring System for English Essays under the Background of Modern Information Technology.

This work is to reduce the workload of teachers in English teaching and improve the writing level of students, so as to provide a way for students to practice English composition scoring independently and satisfy the needs of college teachers and students for intelligent English composition scoring and intelligently generated comments. In this work, it firstly clarifies the teaching requirements of college English classrooms and expounds the principles and advantages of machine learning technology. Secondly, a three-layer neural network model (NNM) is constructed by using the multilayer perceptron (MLP), combined with the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm. Furthermore, three semantic representation vector technologies, including word vector, paragraph vector, and full-text vector feature, are used to represent the full-text vocabulary of English composition. Then, a model based on the K-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm is proposed to generate English composition evaluation, and a final score based on the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model is proposed. Finally, a model dataset is constructed using 800 college students' English essays for the CET-4 mock test, and the model is tested. The research results show that the semantic representation vector technology proposed can more effectively extract the lexical semantic features of English compositions. The XGBoost model and the kNN algorithm model are used to score and evaluate English compositions, which improves the accuracy of the scores. This makes the management of the entire scoring model more efficient and more accurate. It means that the model proposed is better than the traditional model in terms of evaluation accuracy. This work provides a new direction for the application of artificial intelligence technology in English teaching under the background of modern information technology.
