arXiv:2607. 18767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deployment of Small Language Models (SLMs) in educational settings offers significant advantages in terms of privacy, cost, and scalability.
arXiv:2606. 11477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Correcting handwritten exams by hand is time-consuming and error-prone, particularly for large cohorts, while fully digital exams tend to force a didactic narrowing towards closed question formats.
arXiv:2606. 24973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a dataset of 32,534 double-marked real student responses to GCSE mock exams (GCSEs are the UK's national exams, taken at age ~16), spanning 328 questions across five subjects and including handwritten work.
arXiv:2607. 08317v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern AI models achieve strong performance on many established benchmarks, yet they still fail on tasks that humans find almost trivial, such as manipulating a string or drawing a dog with five legs.
Automated classroom engagement recognition holds substantial promise for scalable learning analytics, yet the suitability of modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for this task under zero-shot conditions remains largely unexplored. We present a systematic benchmark that evaluates five widely-used VLMs: CLIP, BLIP-VQA, GPT-4o, LLaVA-1.
arXiv:2606. 20264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Student-generated drawings are widely used in science education to assess learners' conceptual understanding in modeling-based tasks aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
arXiv:2609.26733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapidly advancing capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) present a systemic challenge to academic integrity. VLMs now allow students to bypa...
arXiv:2608. 19355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational visual question answering, or VQA, requires models to solve curriculum-oriented multiple-choice questions using both language and visual evidence.
arXiv:2608.21762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) fail many detail-centric questions for a concrete reason: the answer is visible in the image, yet lost after the image...
arXiv:2608. 12928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce a Polish-language medical visual question answering (VQA) benchmark, built from Polish Board Certification Examination questions for licensed physicians and dentists pursuing specialist certification.
arXiv:2511.17886v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success across multimodal tasks, yet their substantial computational demands hinder ef...
arXiv:2608.28707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in Visual Question Answering (VQA), yet they continue to struggle with quest...
arXiv:2609.37712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is evolving from plain-text transcription toward general visual intelligence, requiring models to recognize, loca...
