Abstract

See full text

A system and method for spoken language proficiency assessment by a computer is described. A user provides a spoken response to a constructed response question. A speech recognition system processes the spoken response into a sequence of linguistic units. At training time, features matching a linguistic template are extracted by identifying matches between a training sequence of linguistic units and pre-selected templates. Additionally, a generalized count of the extracted features is computed. At runtime, linguistic features are detected by comparing a runtime sequence of linguistic units to the feature set extracted at training time. This comparison results in a generalized count of linguistic features. The generalized count is then used to compute a score.
