Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we describe an on-going study of developing an
automatic essay-scoring system in Japanese. Essay scoring systems have
already been developed and used mainly in English, while not many
previous studies have been done on Japanese essay evaluations. Most
of the methods and systems of automatic essay evaluation need not
small number of previously human-graded essays for calibrating the
parameter of regression functions or parameter of machine learning.
The previous studies show the high performance for essay evaluation
task, however, it must be not easy to assume large graded essays in,
for example, actual tests or entrance examinations. Thus, we take a
approach to evaluate Japanese essays without previously human-graded
essays but with assuming reference data related to essay questions.
The proposed method is a simple one, that is, evaluating the essays
with co-occurrences with the reference data in their words or
morphemes. In the method technical terms would be given high scores
using neologd dictionary and idf values.
Experimental results show that the proposed method works well in our
developing Japanese mock trial writing tests.
