Automated essay scoring aims to evaluate the quality of an essay automatically. It is one of the main educational applications in the field of natural language processing. Recently, the research scope has been extended from prompt-special scoring to cross-prompt scoring and further concentrating on scoring different traits. However, cross-prompt trait scoring requires identifying inner-relations, domain knowledge, and trait representation as well as dealing with insufficient training data for the specific traits. To address these problems, we propose a RDCTS model that employs contrastive learning and utilizes Kullback–Leibler divergence to measure the similarity of positive and negative samples, and we design a feature fusion algorithm that combines POS and syntactic features instead of using single text attribute features as input for the neural AES system. We incorporate implicit data augmentation by adding the dropout layer to the word level and sentence level of the hierarchical model to mitigate the effects of limited data. Experimental results show that our RDCTS achieves state-of-the-art performance and greater consistency.
