Researchers have developed a generative AI-assisted summarization framework to address transformer input-length limitations in automated essay scoring (AES). By using GPT-5 variants (GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano) to create summaries of long essays, the system aims to maintain scoring reliability while reducing computational costs. Integrating handcrafted linguistic features with these summaries forms a hybrid approach, with GPT-5 mini showing the highest agreement with human ratings and GPT-5 producing the best summarization quality. The study highlights trade-offs between model capacity, summary fidelity, cost, and the preservation of educational constructs, suggesting generative AI summarization is promising for writing assessment but requires careful validation.
