From Evaluated Models to Evaluation Aids: A Multi-Evidence Study of LLM-Based Difficulty Calibration for Programming Examinations

AI evidence can serve as an external reference for problem validation, parallel-class fairness discussion, and longitudinal quality tracking, while the model-identity boundary, single-reviewer design, and review-output instability set explicit limits: AI difficulty scales must not be used for individual student evaluat...

Anchoring Bias in LLM-as-a-Judge Systems: Prior Scores Compromise Evaluation Independence

It is shown that prior scores, even when included only as context metadata, anchor judgments and systematically shift ratings toward their values, and effective mitigation must be validated for the intended model and task or domain.

A Judge Should Know What Changed:Construct Validity for LLM-as-a-Judge Evaluation

The results show that high judge agreement can coexist with weak sensitivity to changes in the construct being evaluated, motivating joint reporting of invariance and sensitivity and auditing the validation set itself.
