This paper explores the potential of open-source, small-scale generative language models (GLMs) for automated text scoring (ATS). Unlike previous research that relied on proprietary models accessed through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), this study focuses on using modest, consumer-grade hardware to fine-tune GLMs. The results show that GLMs can achieve adequate performance, though not state-of-the-art, and the authors also investigate the capacity of these models for generating feedback by prompting them to explain their scores.

In a nutshell, researchers are looking at how small, open-source language models can be used to score written text. They’re finding that these models can do a good job, but not as well as bigger, more powerful ones. The study also looks at whether these models can provide helpful feedback on why they scored certain texts the way they did.
