Answer identification model for methodological question in student texts

Abstract

Writing research findings turns out to be hard work. For college students, the complexity is increased by the lack of experience in writing scientific texts. Defining the general objective allows students to set forward the way for the development of the thesis. One of the three questions suggested by the authors of methodology books; “What will you do?”, serves as a guide for the objective formulation. In this work we developed an Answer Identification Model to approach such question, employing a Language Model and an Answer Scanning Method. This model can be used to identify answers to open questions that seek to reveal specific content. We are reporting initial results of the analysis of a test collection in Computer and Information Technologies.
