As LLMs increasingly streamline item generation, ensuring the quality of their outputs remains a critical challenge. This study examines whether a multi-agent system can serve as an automated judge to detect and revise flaws in AI-generated educational assessment items, such as ambiguity, bias, or content misalignment.

This paper summarizes our methodology and results for the BEA 2024 Shared Task. This competition focused on predicting item difficulty and response time for retired multiple-choice items from the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®). We extracted linguistic features from the item stem and response options using multiple methods, including the BiomedBERT model, FastText embeddings, and Coh-Metrix. The extracted features were combined with additional features available in item metadata (e.g., item type) to predict item difficulty and average response time. The results showed that the BiomedBERT model was the most effective in predicting item difficulty, while the fine-tuned model based on FastText word embeddings was the best model for predicting response time.
