Upcoming Project Topic

Network psychometrics

1. How to score individuals in the longitudinal network analysis?
2. Use network analysis to examine the testlet effect.
3. Apply the network analysis to self-reported variables in the mediation task?
4. Diagnosis issues of individuals in the network analysis?
5. Develop ranking factor scores for factor analysis (Authors: Ji L., Xinya L., Jihong Z.)
6. Compare item selection performance for regularized factor analysis and network analysis. (Authors: Jiayin C., Xinya L., Jihong Z.)
7. Apply cross-section network analysis to after-school staffs’ physical activity. (Authors: Anqi D., Jihong Z.)
8. Apply longitudinal network analysis to EEG data of mediation task (Authors: Yanli (Jeff) Lin, Jihong Z.)

Large language models in Education and Psychology

9. CDM-driven LLMs for interview data analysis.
10. Test psychometric difference between LLM-generated and human-generated using measurement invariance (DIF). Use the multi-agent system to detect DIF.
11. Use LLM to convert interview data into survey response (Jihong Z., Nicole Bonge)
12. Test the stability of LLM-generated survey responses under different conditions (Xinya L., Jihong Z.)
13. Training Generated AI algorithm using large education item pools (Hong Jiao, Xinya L., Jihong Z.).
