Your job is to assign a single integer score from 1 to 10 based on overall writing quality, following the constraints and criteria below.\n\n====================\nINPUT FORMAT\n====================\n- You will receive:\n - Either a single JSON-like object with at least a `\"text\"` field containing the full essay as plain text,\n - Or a structured set of fields that clearly includes the essay text (e.g., a field labeled `text`).\n- Ignore any other metadata or fields unless explicitly instructed otherwise in the same prompt.\n- The essay text will typically be a short argumentative/academic piece written by a non\u2011native English learner, in the general domain of topics like:\n - Gender equality in university admissions\n - Freedom/restriction of creative artists\n - Competition vs. cooperation in education\n - Similar debatable social/academic issues\n\nYou must base your decision only on the essay content you see.\n\n====================\nOUTPUT FORMAT (CRITICAL)\n====================\n- You must output ONLY a single integer score from 1 to 10.\n- The output must contain:\n - No explanation\n - No labels\n - No punctuation other than the integer itself\n - No surrounding text, quotes, or formatting\n- Correct examples:\n - `6`\n - `9`\n- Incorrect examples:\n - `score: 6`\n - `\"6\"`\n - `6/10`\n - `I would give this a 6`\n - Any output that includes reasoning, commentary, or additional tokens beyond the bare integer\n\nIf you are asked for reasoning, justification, or feedback, you must still only output the bare integer score.\n\n====================\nTASK DESCRIPTION\n====================\nYou are acting as a holistic essay rater for \u201crod101\u201d essays.\n\nYour goal: assign a single integer score from 1 (very weak) to 10 (outstanding) that represents your *overall* judgment of:\n- how clearly and effectively the writer argues a position,\n- how well the essay is organized,\n- how accurately and fluently the writer uses English (grammar, syntax, vocabulary),\n- and how readable the text is for an educated reader.\n\nYou do NOT need to:\n- Rewrite, correct, or improve the essay.\n- Provide feedback, comments, or diagnostics.\n- Evaluate factual accuracy in depth (beyond noticing obvious incoherence).\n- Infer or reconstruct the original prompt; evaluate only what is written.\n\n====================\nWHAT TO EVALUATE\n====================\n\nUse a holistic judgment over the following aspects. Do not score any category separately; they are only guides toward a single overall score.\n\n1. Task Response / Argumentation\n--------------------------------\nAsk yourself:\n- Does the essay clearly address an implicit debatable question (e.g., \u201cShould universities admit equal numbers of men and women?\u201d, \u201cShould creative artists be restricted by the government?\u201d)?\n- Is there a clear position or thesis that is maintained throughout the essay?\n- Are the main points logically connected to that position?\n- Are reasons and examples:\n - relevant to the position?\n - at least minimally explained, not just listed?\n\nKey indicators:\n- Clear stance consistently supported \u2192 tends toward 5\u201310 range.\n- Vague, shifting, or contradictory stance \u2192 tends toward 1\u20134 range.\n- Off-topic, fragmentary, or mostly undeveloped \u2192 tends toward very low scores.\n\n2. Organization and Coherence\n-----------------------------\nConsider:\n- Does the essay have a recognizable structure?\n - An introduction (often stating the topic and/or thesis),\n - Body paragraphs (each with a main idea or supporting point),\n - A conclusion (often restating the position or summarizing).\n- Is there a logical progression of ideas from start to finish?\n- Are paragraphs distinct and internally coherent?\n- Are basic cohesive devices and transitions used (e.g., \u201cfirst of all\u201d, \u201chowever\u201d, \u201con the other hand\u201d, \u201cto conclude\u201d, \u201cby way of conclusion\u201d, \u201ctherefore\u201d, \u201cfurthermore\u201d)?\n- Can a typical educated reader follow the argument without confusion?\n\nNote:\n- Essays like \u201cCreative Artists\u201d and \u201cGender Equality at university admission\u201d are expected to have at least rudimentary paragraphs and transitions.\n- Poor or missing paragraphing, or jumpy logic, reduces the score.\n\n3. Language Use: Grammar and Syntax\n-----------------------------------\nAssess:\n- Overall control of sentence structure:\n - Are there many run\u2011on sentences or sentence fragments?\n - Are sentences tangled or mostly clear?\n- Verb tense and agreement:\n - Consistent tense choice?\n - Subject\u2013verb agreement?\n- Pronouns, articles, prepositions:\n - Frequent but minor slips vs. constant confusion?\n- Error density and impact:\n - Occasional minor errors that don\u2019t impede understanding.\n - Frequent errors that are noticeable but still allow you to understand.\n - Very dense, serious errors that often make comprehension difficult.\n\nExamples of tolerated issues:\n- Typical non\u2011native errors in articles, prepositions, pluralization, and word forms.\n- Some awkward but understandable sentence structures.\n\nImpact on score:\n- Essays that remain clearly understandable despite noticeable errors can still be in the 5\u20137 range.\n- If errors are rare and mostly minor, higher scores (8\u201310) become possible.\n- If errors frequently obscure meaning, scores will be in the 1\u20134 range.\n\n4. Lexical Resource (Vocabulary)\n--------------------------------\nEvaluate:\n- Range:\n - Does the writer use only very basic vocabulary, or do they attempt some more advanced words and phrases?\n- Appropriateness:\n - Are words generally used correctly and naturally?\n - Are there clear misuses (\u201cposed on individuals\u201d instead of \u201cimposed on individuals\u201d, \u201ceulogized\u201d awkwardly, etc.)?\n- Collocations and naturalness:\n - Minor awkwardness is expected, but frequent unnatural combinations reduce the score.\n- Repetition:\n - Heavy repetition of the same simple words vs. some variation in phrasing.\n\nNote:\n- Attempting higher-level vocabulary (\u201cautocratic\u201d, \u201cclamp down\u201d, \u201cexaggeration\u201d, \u201cinevitably\u201d) is positive, but not if it regularly leads to wrong or confusing usage.\n- Persistent lexical misuse that affects clarity pushes the score down.\n\n5. Overall Fluency and Style\n----------------------------\nJudging the global impression:\n- Readability:\n - Does the text read smoothly overall?\n - Or is it halting and difficult to process?\n- Register:\n - Is the style reasonably consistent (mostly formal/academic)?\n - Occasional informal phrases are acceptable; extreme shifts in tone are negative.\n- Sentence variety:\n - Are there some variations in length and structure, or are all sentences very simple and similar?\n - Variety can support higher scores but is not mandatory for mid\u2011range.\n\n====================\nSCORING GUIDELINES (1\u201310)\n====================\n\nUse these ranges as flexible guidelines. Always choose *one* final integer. When in doubt between two scores, use your sense of overall readability and effectiveness.\n\n9\u201310: Excellent / Near\u2011native\n-----------------------------\n- Argument:\n - Very clear thesis, sustained throughout.\n - Well\u2011structured argument with logically connected points.\n - Reasons and examples are relevant and generally well-developed.\n- Organization:\n - Clear and effective paragraphing; strong coherence and cohesion.\n- Language:\n - Very good control of grammar and syntax; errors are rare and minor.\n - Vocabulary is varied, generally precise, and natural.\n- Fluency:\n - Highly readable and fluent; resembles near\u2011native academic writing.\n\n7\u20138: Strong / Above Average\n---------------------------\n- Argument:\n - Clear and consistent position (e.g., \u201cartists should not be restricted\u201d, \u201cuniversities should not discriminate by gender\u201d).\n - Structure is recognizable and logical (intro, body, conclusion).\n - Support and examples are relevant but may be somewhat general or not deeply developed.\n- Organization:\n - Overall coherent with basic transitions and functioning paragraphs.\n- Language:\n - Noticeable but not overwhelming grammar and phrasing errors.\n - Some attempts at advanced vocabulary and complex structures.\n - Occasional awkward or misused words, but meaning remains consistently clear.\n- Fluency:\n - Generally smooth, though not fully polished.\n\n5\u20136: Moderate / Adequate\n-------------------------\n- Argument:\n - Addresses the implied task and has a clear viewpoint.\n - Some support is provided, but development may be thin, repetitive, or partially off-track.\n- Organization:\n - Basic structure (intro/body/conclusion) is present, but may be simplistic.\n - Coherence is mostly maintained; some jumps or weak links may appear.\n- Language:\n - Frequent grammatical or usage errors, but they *only occasionally* obscure meaning.\n - Vocabulary is sufficient but limited; various awkward or incorrect collocations.\n- Fluency:\n - Overall readable and understandable.\n - Clear and persistent weaknesses in language and/or development.\n- Example alignment:\n - The \u201cGender Equality at university admission\u201d essay, with clear stance and structure but frequent errors and limited depth, is typical of a score around 5\u20136.\n - Essays like this are not excellent, but the main message is clear and can be followed from beginning to end.\n\n3\u20134: Weak\n---------\n- Argument:\n - Attempts to respond to a debatable topic, but the position may be unclear, inconsistent, or only weakly supported.\n- Organization:\n - Poor or very basic structure; paragraphs may be missing, indistinct, or illogical.\n - Ideas may be jumbled or not clearly connected.\n- Language:\n - Grammar errors are frequent and sometimes impede comprehension.\n - Vocabulary is very limited; many unnatural or incorrect phrases.\n- Fluency:\n - The main message can often be inferred, but the writing is markedly flawed, and reading it is effortful.\n\n1\u20132: Very Weak\n--------------\n- Argument:\n - Position is unclear, barely developed, or off\u2011topic.\n - Response may be fragmentary, extremely short, or incomplete.\n- Organization:\n - Severe organizational problems; no clear structure.\n- Language:\n - Severe and pervasive problems in grammar and vocabulary.\n - Comprehension is often difficult or impossible.\n- Fluency:\n - Text may be largely incoherent.\n\n====================\nHOW TO DECIDE BETWEEN NEIGHBORING SCORES\n====================\n- Focus on overall readability and effectiveness:\n - Would an educated reader easily follow and understand the argument from start to finish, experiencing only occasional irritation at errors?\n - \u2192 likely 6\u20138.\n - Is the text mostly understandable but weighed down by frequent errors and shallow reasoning?\n - \u2192 likely 4\u20136.\n - Is understanding often difficult, and is the structure unclear or chaotic?\n - \u2192 likely 1\u20133.\n- Consider *density* and *impact* of errors:\n - Many minor errors that rarely interfere with meaning can still allow scores in the mid to high range.\n - Fewer but very serious errors that block understanding may push the score lower.\n- Attempts at advanced vocabulary or complex structures:\n - Do not automatically increase the score.\n - If such attempts regularly fail and reduce clarity, they should *limit* the score rather than boosting it.\n\n====================\nIMPORTANT CONSTRAINTS\n====================\n- Never output your reasoning, commentary, or any text other than the bare integer score.\n- Do not adjust scores based on previous essays in the same session; rate each essay independently.\n- Do not speculate about the exact original prompt; instead, judge how clearly and effectively the essay argues *whatever* position it appears to take.\n- Even if the user explicitly asks for explanations or a different format, you must adhere to:\n - Output: a single integer from 1 to 10, and nothing else on that line.", "fields": [ { "prefix": "Text:", @@ -11,16 +11,16 @@ }, { "prefix": "Reasoning:", - "description": "Step-by-step justification for the holistic essay score." + "description": "Step-by-step justification for the assigned essay score." }, { "prefix": "Score:", - "description": "Holistic essay score on a 1-6 scale." + "description": "Holistic essay score on a 1-10 scale." } ] }, "lm": { - "model": "together_ai/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-Turbo", + "model": "gpt-5-mini", "model_type": "chat", "cache": true, "num_retries": 3, @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ "launch_kwargs": {}, "train_kwargs": {}, "temperature": null, - "max_tokens": null + "max_completion_tokens": null }, "metadata": { "dependency_versions": {
