Abstract

Computer-assisted marking can reduce the work pressure on teachers. This paper briefly introduced the automatic English subjective question marking algorithm combined with the convolutional neural network + long short-term memory (CLSTM) algorithm. An attention mechanism was introduced to improve the CLSTM algorithm. The improved CLSTM-based automatic marking algorithm was simulated and tested, and it was compared with the convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN)-based automatic marking algorithm and the traditional CLSTM-based automatic marking algorithm. The results indicated that the improved CLSTM-based automatic marking algorithm effectively recognized the text in the handwritten answer images and accurately graded answers to subjective questions.
