Abstract: Every 4 years, the PISA test is administered by the OECD to test the knowledge of teenage students worldwide and allow for comparisons of educational systems. However, having to avoid language differences and annotator bias makes the grading of student answers challenging. For these reasons, it would be interesting to compare methods of automatic student answer grading. To train some of these methods, which require machine learning, or to compute parameters or select hyperparameters for those that do not, a large amount of domain-specific data is needed. In this work, we explore a small number of methods for creating a large-scale training dataset using only a relatively small confidential dataset as a reference, leveraging a set of very simple derived text formats to preserve confidentiality. Using these methods, we successfully created three surrogate datasets that are, at the very least, superficially more similar to the reference dataset than purely the result of prompt-based generation. Early experiments suggest one of these approaches might also lead to improved model training.
