Abstract

Automating the grading process for question-answer sheets represents a significant challenge, particularly when dealing with traditional hard copy papers. This initiative aims to reduce the time and expenses associated with manual grading, a task that typically consumes 2–3 days for teachers to complete. Leveraging advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) methodologies, including XGBoost, Ridge Regression, and Naive Bayes, we have developed a system for automatic grading using prepossessed OCR datasets. This system learns from a historical dataset of student question-answers, with a focus on two primary objectives: scoring short-answer questions and providing constructive feedback to students. Additionally, we assess the performance and accuracy of the system using standard evaluation techniques such as Precision, Recall, and F-measure. Our experimental results demonstrate an impressive 89% accuracy in grading student answer sheets.
