Neural conversation systems, typically using sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models, are showing promising progress recently.

This is why summary writing is sometimes used together with essays to assess university-level abilities in L2.
assessing L2 summaries is highly demanding, especially if analytic rubrics are involved, as they require raters' expertise and much concentration when assessing language proficiency at various levels (e.g., lexis, syntax, discourse).
contrasting
train_18405
Analytic scoring based on different rubrics (e.g., accuracy, cohesion) is therefore particularly appropriate when assessing summaries in L2 as it offers more informative feedback (Bernhardt, 2010) and better captures different facets of L2 writing competence than holistic assessment (Weigle, 2002).
analytic scoring is often exceptionally demanding for raters, especially in the case of longer texts and more than four or five scoring categories (CEFR), which motivates the use of automated assessment.

Also, from the high complementary recall that ANNIE offers over OpenNLP, adding ANNIE's results is likely to offer strong recall improvements.
from P Comp (OpenN LP, AN N IE) being only 20.00 we can see that ANNIE and OpenNLP select quite different entities, and that precision gains are not likely to be made.

That topic modelling does well at identifying differences in topic is perhaps not so surprising, and this could be seen as consistent with the good performance of topic modelling on the nyt june KSC, where news articles from different time periods would be expected to be on somewhat different topics.
(this does not provide an account for why perplexity does so well for nyt 5678 where we would also expect differences in topic.)
