A Corpus of Annotated Revisions for Studying Argumentative Writing

Fan Zhang, Homa B. Hashemi, Rebecca Hwa, Diane Litman


Abstract
This paper presents ArgRewrite, a corpus of between-draft revisions of argumentative essays. Drafts are manually aligned at the sentence level, and the writer’s purpose for each revision is annotated with categories analogous to those used in argument mining and discourse analysis. The corpus should enable advanced research in writing comparison and revision analysis, as demonstrated via our own studies of student revision behavior and of automatic revision purpose prediction.
