Predicting the Proficiency Level of Nonnative Hebrew Authors
Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2022)
Abstract
We present classifiers that can accurately predict the proficiency level of nonnative Hebrew learners. This is important for practical (mainly educational) applications, but the endeavor also sheds light on the features that support the classification, thereby improving our understanding of learner language in general, and transfer effects from Arabic, French, and Russian on nonnative Hebrew in particular.
