Ethnic differential item functioning in the assessment of quality of life in cancer patients
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2005 Background Past research has shown that Filipino cancer patients report lower levels of quality of life (QoL) than other ethnic groups. One possible explanation for this is that Filipinos do not define QoL in the same manner as others, resulting in bias ...

A Correlation Maximization Approach for Cross Domain Co-Embeddings [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Although modern recommendation systems can exploit the structure in users' item feedback, most are powerless in the face of new users who provide no structure for them to exploit. In this paper we introduce ImplicitCE, an algorithm for recommending items to new users during their sign-up flow.

Detection of Uniform and Non-Uniform Differential Item Functioning by Item Focussed Trees [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Detection of differential item functioning by use of the logistic modelling approach has a long tradition. One big advantage of the approach is that it can be used to investigate non-uniform DIF as well as uniform DIF. The classical approach allows to detect DIF by distinguishing between multiple groups.

Finding Words Associated with DIF: Predicting Differential Item Functioning using LLMs and Explainable AI [PDF]
arXivWe 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 these models to identify specific words associated with DIF.
