Answer Script Evaluation using Machine Learning

The current way of checking answer scripts is hectic for the college. They need to manually check the answers and allocate the marks to the students. Our proposed system uses Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques to beat this. Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to find out directly from data without hopping on predetermined rules. NLP algorithms identify specific entities within the text, explore for key elements during a document, run a contextual search for synonyms and detect misspelled words or similar entries, and more. Our algorithm performs similarity checking and also the number of words associated with the question exactly matched between two documents. It also checks whether the grammar is correctly used or not within the student's answer. Our proposed system performs text extraction and evaluation of marks by applying Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques.
