Abstract

Automated assessment of translation involves the processing of two natural languages, making it more difficult than automated assessment of short answer questions or writing which involves the processing of only one language. This paper describes and exemplifies an on-line automated assessment system of student English-Chinese translation system-YanFa-5 which integrates keyword matching scoring, sentence pattern matching scoring with semantic scoring. Experiment results show that YanFa-5 is more accurate in the assessment of student on-line English-Chinese translations.
