If it takes longer than 10 minutes for the similarity service to compare the key and target text, then the comparison times out and will produce a value of 0. How many words and sentences were you trying to compare? The VIP research website also has a version 3 that you can try, https://ws-nlp.vipresearch.ca/client/v3/, but again, the similarity calculation is restricted to 10 minutes or less, so the amount of text that can be compared is limited. Besides taking too long to produce a similarity, what other user experiences have you found torturing? Also, what other issues are you referring to? Specific issues can be added to the GitHub repository at https://github.com/VIP-Research-Group/moodle-block_behaviour/issues. Thank you for your feedback.

Great idea, but it seems that the plugin doesn't work at all. With Manual Marking on, it always produced a 0 grade (the grading process is too long). With Manual Marking off, it almost crashed my site.
I also tried it in Vipresearch website(https://ws-nlp.vipresearch.ca/client/v2/), and it didn't work either.
BTW, I've tried all the plugins developed by vipresearch team. They really have great ideas, but the user experiences can be really torturing.
But I do want to thank you guys for trying to present these ideas. Hopefully there will be better versions released to fix those issues.
