Essays are important for testing students’ academic scores, creativity, and being able to remember what they studied, but grading them manually is really expensive and time-consuming for a large number of essays. This project aims to implement and train neural networks to assess and grade essays automatically. The human grades given to the essays should be matched with grades generated from our automatic essay grading system consistently with minimum error. Automated essay grading can be used for evaluating essays written according to specific prompts or specific topics. It is the process of automating scoring system of essays without any human intervention and using computer programs. This system is most beneficial for educators since it helps reducing manual work and saves a lot of time. It not only saves a lot of time but also speeds up the process of learning feedback. We used deep neural networks in our system instead of traditional machine learning models.
