Kaggle Coding Competition: Feedback Prize - Evaluating Student Writing

Kaggle is offering Feedback Prize - Evaluating Student Writing. In this competition, you’ll identify elements in student writing. More specifically, you will automatically segment texts and classify argumentative and rhetorical elements in essays written by 6th-12th grade students. You'll have access to the largest dataset of student writing ever released in order to test your skills in natural language processing, a fast-growing area of data science.

If successful, you'll make it easier for students to receive feedback on their writing and increase opportunities to improve writing outcomes. Virtual writing tutors and automated writing systems can leverage these algorithms while teachers may use them to reduce grading time. The open-sourced algorithms you come up with will allow any educational organization to better help young writers develop.
