Research on human–machine collaborative scoring method for subjective questions based on DeBERTa-MLP-S3WD model
摘要
To address the black-box nature, weak interpretability, and low reliability of existing automatic subjective scoring systems for uncertain samples, this paper proposes HMCSDeS3WD, a human–machine collaborative framework that integrates DeBERTa-based semantic encoding, a task-adaptive MLP for ordinal regression, and Sequential Three-Way Decision (S3WD). The DeBERTa encoder extracts deep semantic features from student answers; the MLP maps fused representations into an ordinal scoring space; and a composite confidence metric dynamically routes each sample into one of three paths: automatic machine scoring, human–machine collaborative review, or independent human scoring. Evaluated on the widely adopted ASAP benchmark under the automatic-only mode (no human intervention), the framework achieves an average Quadratic Weighted Kappa (QWK) of 0.862 and a normalized mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0758, outperforming mainstream baselines including CNN, LSTM, BERT, RoBERTa, DeBERTa, and uncertainty-aware variants. In the full collaborative mode, it reduces manual workload by ≈65% while raising consistency to QWK = 0.91. This work provides a promising solution for building interpretable and reliable intelligent scoring systems in educational assessment.
