Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although e-learning has advanced considerably in the last decade, some of its aspects, such as e-testing, are still in the development phase. Authoring tools and test banks for e-tests are becoming an integral and indispensable part of e-learning platforms and with the implementation of e-learning standards, such as IMS QTI, e-testing material can be easily shared and reused across various platforms. With the knowledge available for reuse and exam automation comes a new challenge: making sure that created exams are free of confl icts. A Confl ict exists in an exam if at least two questions within that exam are redundant in content, and/or if at least one question reveals the answer to another question within the same exam. In this paper we propose using information retrieval techniques to detect confl icts within an exam. Our solution, ICE (Identifi cation of Conflicts in Exams), is based on the vector space model relying on tf-idf weighing and the cosine function to calculate similarity. ICE also combines the hybrid recommendation techniques of the EQRS (Exam Question Recommender System) in order to propose replacements for confl icting questions.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
