summaryWe’ll show a few procedures we have been testing and some of the results we have so far on automated essay evaluation of Brazilian Portuguese texts: (1) previous experience on automating the task of text evaluation applied to Brazilian Portuguese essays produced by students of Portuguese as a second language, (2) manual annotation process of a corpus of essays written by high school students using BRAT, (3) construction of graphs using UNITEX to describe, extract and select features of these essays that may be used to automatically distinguish well written texts from texts with poor writing quality, and (4) possibilities of using available resources in Brazilian Portuguese and other languages to identify and quantify orthographic and grammar mistakes and map their distributions in order to help with the process of automatically evaluating essays in Brazilian Portuguese.
