Abstract

Answer sheet evaluation is a time-consuming task that requires lot of efforts by the teachers and hence there is a strong need of automation for the same. This paper proposes a machine learning based approach that relies on WordNet graphs for finding out the text similarity between the answer provided by the student and the ideal answer provided by the teacher to facilitate the automation of answer sheet evaluation. This work is the first attempt in the field of short answer-based evaluation using WordNet graphs. Here, a novel marking algorithm is provided which can incorporate semantic relations of the answer text into consideration. The results when tested on 400 answer sheets yield promising results as compared with the state-of-art.
