CheckMate
It's just another arrow in the teacher's quiver.
The problem CheckMate solves
In case of online submissions in the form of pdf files, etc. It becomes tedious as well as a difficult task for professors to go through all submissions and check for plagiarism and cheating.
With this ML-powered tool, this task can be done with the ease of a click.
Also helps the user to perform an auto evaluation of the submission documents with a reference document.
Challenges we ran into
- Cleaning textual data: We developed a method to tackle the repetition of textual data in the files.
- displaying of results: We got the similarity scores in a sparse matrix but we altered it to get the final result in a string format, with the respective pdf names.
- Dealing with multiple files simultaneously: Generally only 2 files are compared, but we devised an algorithm to compare each document with another.
- Integrating the web apps: We created a flask API to connect the frontend with the backend model to display the expected results.
- Accuracy of the auto evaluator: The rate of decrease in the similarity score was too steep. So we generalized the final result to make it more realistic.
