Examinations/Assessments are a way to assess the
understanding of a student on a particular subject. Even today
many educational organizations prefer to conduct exams by
offline mode (pen and paper). And evaluating them is a timeconsuming process. There is no effectual model to evaluate
Offline descriptive answers automatically. The traditional method
involves staff assessing the content manually. In place of this
process, a new approach using image captioning by using deep
learning algorithms can be implemented. Handwritten Text
Recognition (HTR) can be used to evaluate descriptive answers.
One-word Answers captured as images are pre-processed to
extract the text features using deep learning models and
pytesseract. This paper presents a comparison between the CNNRNN hybrid model and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to
predict a score for one-word answers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
