Comparative Study on Feature-Based Scoring Using Vector Space Modelling System

Table 1

Comparison between manual and automated scoring.

Sr. No.	Manual Scoring	Automated Scoring
1	Measurement weaknesses	Measurement strengths
	Manual scoring has measurement weaknesses: (i) Subjectivity; (ii) Lack of reproducibility; (iii) Inconsistency errors	Automated scoring is able to achieve: (i) Consistency; (ii) Reproducibility; (iii) Traceability
2	Logistical weaknesses	Logistical strengths
	(i) No quick rescoring; (ii) Takes more time to score; (iii) Not cost effective	(i) Quick rescoring; (ii) Time saving and possibility of immediate feedback; (iii) Reduced cost
3	Other weaknesses	Other strengths
	It requires: (i) Attention to basic human needs; (ii) Recruiting, training, calibration, and monitoring; (iii) Intensive direct labour and time	It requires: (i) No basic human needs once the system is set; (ii) No more recruitment, training, calibration, and monitoring; (iii) Only one trained operator is sufficient. Negligible labour and time.
