Auto Grader

Auto Grader helps teachers by automating the paper correction process using advanced computer vision and NLP.

Flow

Step 1: Teacher uploads the scanned answersheet and the correct answers for the question.

Step 2: The boxes in the scanned image are identified and cropped out.

Extracted Character

Step 3: Using a CNN, these characters are classified.

Step 4: Words are formed out of these classified characters.

Step 5: These words are sent through a spelling corrector to remove mistakes which the CNN model might've caused.

Step 6: Then sentences are formed which are then sent along with the correct answers through a Text Similarity NLP model.

Step 7: The similarity model gives a cosine score using which is used to determine the marks a student should get for their answer.
