A Comparative Study of Pretrained Language Models for Automated Essay Scoring with Adversarial Inputs
Proceedings of 2020 IEEE REGION 10 CONFERENCE (TENCON), Osaka, Japan

This study compares the performance of three AES models which utilize different text embedding methods, namely Global Vectors for Word Representation (GloVe), Embeddings from Language Models (ELMo), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). We used two evaluation metrics: Quadratic Weighted Kappa (QWK) and a novel robustness, which quantifies the models' ability to detect adversarial essays created by modifying normal essays to cause them to be less coherent.

Contest Awards

1st Place, National Software Contest (NSC)

Thai handwritten recognition with multi-channel convolutional networks to extract features from each components in Thai scripting.

The model was implemented on Tensorflow framework.

Our result has Character Error Rate (CER) of about 30% from roughly 3000 sentences.

August 2020

2nd Place, Homedottech Hackathon

Real Estates price prediction model on real-world features such as room size, bedrooms, bathrooms, images, and location. The domain was residence houses and apartments.

The competition was held by Home dot Tech.

We employed deep neural networks with semi-supervised training to learn both regression and classification tasks.
