GolinoHudson · x · 2026-10-29

AI-GENIE (Automatic Item Generation and Validation via Network-Integrated Evaluation) uses LLMs plus network psychometrics to auto-generate and select high-quality, non-redundant psychological assessment items, cutting reliance on expert intervention.

The team validated it with Monte Carlo simulations using Mixtral, Gemma 2, Llama 3, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4o to generate Big Five-style item pools, then tested the scales on five nationally representative US samples (N=4,964 total), showing structural validity. Published open-access in Behavior Research Methods, it now has 4k+ downloads and 50+ citations.
