TAQEEM invites researchers to develop models for automated scoring of Arabic essays in a cross-prompt setting, focusing on holistic and trait-specific scoring across two sub-tasks:
Task A: Holistic Scoring -- given an essay, the model should produce a single holistic score that reflects the overall quality of the essay.
Task B: Trait-specific Scoring -- given an essay, the model should produce a score for each trait.
All details about the tasks and how they are evaluated can be found on Task A and Task B pages.
All times are Anywhere On Earth (AOE).
