AI Cognition Evolves Unevenly Across Generations

AI Cognition Evolves Unevenly Across Generations

Researchers developed a psychometric framework to assess generative AI cognitive profiles against human norms, revealing top performance in verbal and working memory but failures in perceptual reasoning. The AIQ Benchmark tracks evolution across six generations and two model families, showing asymmetric gains with language bias over visual tasks. This indicates scaling alone may not achieve balanced AGI.

AI Evaluation Needs Item-Level Data

AI Evaluation Needs Item-Level Data

This position paper argues that item-level benchmark data is essential for a rigorous science of AI evaluation, addressing systemic validity failures in current paradigms. It draws from psychometrics and computer science to advocate for granular diagnostics. OpenEval is introduced as a repository to support evidence-centered AI evaluation.

Fixing Rater Bias in AI Evals with IRT

Fixing Rater Bias in AI Evals with IRT

This paper integrates psychometric rater models into AI evaluations to correct systematic errors from human raters. It employs Item Response Theory, particularly the multi-faceted Rasch model, to disentangle true output quality from rater effects like severity and centrality. Applied to OpenAI's summarization dataset, it delivers adjusted quality scores and rater diagnostics for more reliable AI assessments.

VLMs Predict Test Item Difficulty

VLMs Predict Test Item Difficulty

Researchers used GPT-4.1-nano to predict difficulty of data visualization literacy test items via text, images, or both. Multimodal approach achieved lowest MAE of 0.224, outperforming text-only (0.338) and vision-only (0.282). Held-out test showed MSE of 0.108, proving LLMs' psychometric potential.
