Leveraging Natural Language and Item Response Theory Models for ESG Scoring [PDF]
arXivThis paper explores an innovative approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scoring by integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques with Item Response Theory (IRT), specifically the Rasch model. The study utilizes a comprehensive dataset of news articles in Portuguese related to Petrobras, a major oil company in Brazil ...

Comparing Human and AI Rater Effects Using the Many-Facet Rasch Model [PDF]
arXivLarge language models (LLMs) have been widely explored for automated scoring in low-stakes assessment to facilitate learning and instruction. Empirical evidence related to which LLM produces the most reliable scores and induces least rater effects needs to be collected before the use of LLMs for automated scoring in practice.

On the Consistency of Bayesian Adaptive Testing under the Rasch Model [PDF]
arXivThis study establishes the consistency of Bayesian adaptive testing methods under the Rasch model, addressing a gap in the literature on their large-sample guarantees. Although Bayesian approaches are recognized for their finite-sample performance and capability to circumvent issues such as the cold-start problem; however, rigorous proofs of their ...

Sequential Reservoir Computing for Log File‐Based Behavior Process Data Analyses
Journal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.Abstract The use of process data in assessment has gained attention in recent years as more assessments are administered by computers. Process data, recorded in computer log files, capture the sequence of examinees' response activities, for example, timestamped keystrokes, during the assessment.
