New framework integrates essay scoring with adaptive feedback

Researchers have developed PsyScore, a novel framework designed to improve automated essay scoring (AES) by integrating assessment with instructional feedback. Unlike previous methods that treated these components separately, PsyScore uses a shared latent ability representation. It features a Trait-Adaptive Neural IRT Scorer for precise ability estimation and a ZPD-Scaffolded Feedback Generator that tailors feedback to student proficiency levels. Experiments on the ASAP++ dataset show PsyScore performs competitively in scoring and offers more pedagogically aligned feedback. AI

IMPACT This framework could enhance educational tools by providing more accurate and personalized feedback to students.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains a research paper detailing a new framework for automated essay scoring.
