Is generative AI ushering in a new dawn for writing evaluation?
The primary research objective of this project is to use state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to enable automatic writing support, for both L1 and L2 learners of Dutch. Various innovative methods will be researched to detect and provide feedback on writing in different genres through different modules. Starting from sentence-level errors such as spelling and certain grammatical errors, and moving up to paragraph or even text-level errors that impact a text's coherence and therefore its readability. The research also explores how to best provide feedback on writing products to motivate people and help them hone their writing skills in the process.
