Unraveling Downstream Gender Bias from Large Language Models: A Study on AI Educational Writing Assistance (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly utilized in educational tasks such as providing writing suggestions to students. |
| Approach: | They conduct a large-scale user study with 231 students writing business case peer reviews in german. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model does not carry bias in the feedback loops of the students . |
Bias at a Second Glance: A Deep Dive into Bias for German Educational Peer-Review Data Modeling (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have highlighted a variety of biases in pre-trained language models . however, these studies focus on fine-grained analysis of educational corpora and text that is not English . |
| Approach: | They analyze bias across text and through multiple architectures on a corpus of 9,165 German peer-reviews collected from university students over five years. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that pre-trained language models exhibit conceptual, racial, and gender biases. |
SCRIBE: Structured Chain Reasoning for Interactive Behaviour Explanations using Tool Calling (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language models can be used to provide personalized feedback in educational settings, but they face privacy concerns, limited computational resources, and the need for pedagogically valid responses. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for multi-hop, tool-augmented reasoning to generate valid responses to student questions about feedback reports. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can generate valid responses to student questions about feedback reports using domain-specific tools and self-reflective inference pipelines. |
