Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the field of natural language processing, the invention of large-scale general-purpose language models such as BERT has brought improvements in processing accuracy for various types of tasks, but the accuracy has not yet reached a practical level, also in automatic short answer scoring, and further improvements are desired. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the accuracy of automatic short answer scoring using a thesaurus to replace words in the answers. In an experiment using data from social studies and Japanese language mock exams for high school students, we found that the accuracy improved in the range with a small number of data for social studies and in the range with a large number of data for Japanese language. In addition, we found that in the case of highly accurate learning, the model understands the data after substitution and the original data in a different manner.
