  • Assessing fairness in finetuned scoring models with demographically restricted training data

    Open AccessLangdon Holmes, Wesley Morris et al.ARTICLEAssessing Writing2026

    The increasing adoption of automated essay scoring (AES) in high-stakes educational contexts necessitates careful examination of potential biases within the systems. This study investigates how the demographic composition of training data influences fairness in AES systems developed from finetuned large language models (LLMs). Using the PERSUADE corpus of 26,000 student essays, we conducted a systematic analysis using demographically restricted t…

  • Assessing the reliability and validity of large language models in automatic essay scoring

    Open AccessScott Crossley, Langdon Holmes et al.ARTICLEAssessing Writing2026

    With the advent of artificial intelligence, large language model (LLM) based Automated Essay Scoring (AES) systems have been developed that can consistently make human-like decisions that do not depend fully on surface level linguistic features. However, research into the use of LLM-based AES systems is limited and little is known about the reliability, agreement, or validity of the systems. The goal of this study was to provide evidence for the …

  • Word Predictability as a Measure of Second Language Proficiency

    Open AccessLangdon Holmes, Scott Crossley et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2026

    This study introduces predictability BERT , a novel metric for assessing second language (L2) proficiency based on the predictability of word choices in learner language production. Using BERT (Devlin et al., 2019), we calculated the conditional probability of each word in a text given its surrounding context. We evaluated predictability BERT on two datasets: the Lexical Proficiency Corpus ( N = 480), containing analytic ratings of lexical profic…
