Algorithmic Bias in BERT for Response Accuracy Prediction: A Case Study for Investigating Population Validity

Journal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.
Abstract Pretrained large language models (LLMs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their high performance in various educational tasks such as learner modeling, automated scoring, automatic item generation, and prediction. Nevertheless, LLMs are black box approaches where models are less interpretable, and they may carry human biases and ...

Finding Words Associated with DIF: Predicting Differential Item Functioning Using LLMs and Explainable AI

Journal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.
Abstract We fine‐tuned and compared several encoder‐based Transformer large language models (LLM) to predict differential item functioning (DIF) from the item text. We then applied explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to identify specific words associated with the DIF prediction. The data included 42,180 items designed for English language
