Math Grading by GPT-4? The Future of Educational Assessments

Hello SundAI - our world through the lense of AI

In todays episode we delve into the innovative application of GPT-4 for automating the grading of handwritten university-level mathematics exams. Based on a study conducted by Liu et al. (2023), we explore how GPT-4 can effectively address the challenges associated with evaluating handwritten responses to open-ended math questions.

Key Insights:

• Assessment Challenges: Handwritten math exams pose unique challenges such as the diverse ways mathematically equivalent answers can be expressed and the difficulty in recognizing handwritten text.
• GPT-4 as a Solution: The study demonstrates that GPT-4 offers a promising solution to these challenges by providing reliable and cost-effective initial assessments. However, these assessments require subsequent human verification to ensure accuracy.
• Trust Measures: The importance of implementing trust measures is discussed to determine which of GPT-4's evaluations are dependable and which should be manually reviewed.
• Recommendations and Future Outlook: The episode concludes with recommendations for crafting assessment rules tailored for AI-assisted grading and discusses future research possibilities in this emerging field.
