This repository contains a custom Prompt-Aware IELTS Essay Scorer fine-tuned on DeBERTa-v3-base. It simultaneously predicts the 4 analytical criteria of IELTS Writing Task 2 criteria and computes the overall band score.
The model takes both the Writing Prompt and the Student's Essay as inputs, focuses specifically on the essay body using an attention pooling layer, and grades the text across 4 core traits (scaled 0-9):
TA (Task Achievement)
CC (Coherence and Cohesion)
LR (Lexical Resource)
GRA (Grammatical Range and Accuracy)
OverallBand (Calculated average rounded to the nearest 0.5)
