New framework QuAD quantitatively assesses qualitative data quality

Researchers have introduced QuAD, a novel framework designed to quantitatively assess the quality and suitability of qualitative response datasets for specific analytical goals. This system compares the intrinsic distribution of responses to an extrinsic analytical lens defined by the researcher. QuAD utilizes a multi-agent system with adaptive anchors and a two-stage instruction generation process to enhance scoring consistency and provide fitness-for-purpose signals. The framework has been validated through experiments with synthetic data and a real-world social survey, demonstrating its ability to quantitatively evaluate the promise of analysis axes and identify representative or unusual responses.

    QuAD: Quantitative Assessment via Distribution-Alignment for Qualitative Data Quality Enabled by a Content-Aware Multi-Agent System

    arXiv:2610.23153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Assessing whether qualitative responses collected from semi-structured questions are ready for a particular analysis goal is a persistent challenge. Manual qualitative analysis is interpretive and labor-intensive, while existing aut…
