I Have represented Qatar University at MWC Doha<\/a> by giving a talk titled “Beyond the “Red Pen”: Automated Arabic Essay Scoring for the Next Generation<\/em>” on the research my group is conducting to advance the state of the art of Arabic Automated Essay Scoring (AES) to support the education of the next generation. The talk covers:
⭐ Supporting the Arabic NLP community with releasing (soon) the largest Arabic dataset of essays for AES
⭐ Conducting research on several novel frameworks to score different writing traits (e.g., organization, style, development, etc.) besides providing an overall (holistic) score
⭐ Building the first prototype Web application for Arabic AES.
⭐ Leveraging national resources, e.g., Fanar<\/a>
⭐ Optimizing our models to establish state-of-the-art performance
⭐ Organizing TAQEEM: the first research competition on Arabic AES.
⭐ Empowering the local talent of QU students: Sohaila Eltanbouly<\/a>, Salam Albatarni 🍉<\/a>, May Bashendy<\/a>, Marwan Sayed<\/a>, and Hoor Elbahanasawi<\/a>

This work is funded by Qatar Research, Development and Innovation (QRDI) Council<\/a> in collaboration with Houda Bouamor, PhD<\/a> at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar<\/a>, Walid Massoud<\/a> at QU Testing Center and Ministry of Education and Higher Education Qatar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
