Summary

Introduces ICLE++, a corpus of persuasive student essays annotated with both holistic scores and trait-specific scores, addressing limitations of the widely-used ASAP corpus. Demonstrates that models trained on trait-specific annotations achieve better generalization across corpora for automated essay scoring.

The work connects to broader discussions in AI and education around automated-essay-scoring, writing-education, automated-grading, contributing to our understanding of how automated grading shapes educational practice.
