In the grading landscape, there’s a rising interest in automated systems to assess descriptive responses. This study blends Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to create a unified approach. Imagine NLP meticulously analyzing text while CNN deciphers handwritten symbols. Together, they power a machine learning system that predicts response quality. This marks a big step forward, promising a scalable and detailed approach to grading. With a robust methodology and comprehensive evaluation metrics, this research leads the way in automated evaluations across various educational domains.
