Grade Automation System Using Cosine Similarity

Abstract

In the educational sector, new ideas have aimed to increase the efficiency and speed of grading. As a result of these changes, automatic grading techniques have been established to solve some of the problems of grading specialized courses. With the rapid advancement of technology, it's no surprise that automatic grading systems for problems other than typical multiplechoice questions have been designed. According to research, automatic grading techniques are extremely advantageous to teachers because it would take them much too long to evaluate complex assignments without them. These automated grading techniques are really not meant to take the place of human grading; rather , they're designed to assist teachers in efficiently grading and analyzing information. Automation is slowly becoming a part of the educational process, and now we're heading in the right direction. Automating the grading process also helps in avoiding the human error generated while manually checking the answer sheets and provides a sense of uniformity in answer sheet checking and hence is more fair.
