Leveraging on large language model to classify sentences: a case study applying STAGES scoring methodology for sentence completion test on ego development by Xavier Bronlet

“…Cohen’s kappa statistic has been used to measure the agreement between classifications made by experts and those generated by an automated process leveraging large language models.ResultsThe comparison between the scoring of experts and large language models yielded a weighted Kappa value of 0.779, indicating a substantial level of agreement that is statistically meaningful and unlikely to be due to chance.DiscussionWhile this suggests valuable scoring that leverages large language models, it also highlights the opportunity for further refinement to closely match expert assessments. …”
