“..but the number of segments is not primarily a statistical question. There are hundreds of methods to cluster data and they typically give different answers. The question is whether we can find segments that are useful and informative for a business question, ..while secondarily optimizing statistically. “

Jessica Rett, a University of California, Los Angeles, professor in linguistics, said that every generation innovates language, and they do it for roughly two reasons: to obfuscate and to innovate.

The humans sometimes marked up sentences by, for example, showing a place where the student could have cited a source to buttress an argument.

Researchers then read through both sets of feedback – human and machine – for each essay, comparing and rating them. (
