**📌 AR-AES: Arabic Automated Essay Scoring Dataset** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AR-AES dataset is the first publicly available resource designed to support research in Automated Essay Scoring (AES) for the Arabic language. It includes 2,046 manually |
|
|
graded essay responses collected from undergraduate students at Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, across a range of academic disciplines and essay types. |
|
|
|
|
|
Each essay has been independently annotated by two human graders using structured rubrics, enabling the study of inter-rater reliability and the development of fair and |
|
|
interpretable AES systems. Rich metadata is included for each response, covering variables such as course name, student gender, exam type (online or traditional), |
|
|
typical answers ("gold answers") for each essay prompt in both Arabic and English, and detailed criterion-based scoring. |
