Abstract:Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have transformed educational content creation, particularly in developing tutor training materials. However, biases embedded in AI-generated content--such as gender, racial, or national stereotypes--raise significant ethical and educational concerns. Despite the growing use of GenAI, systematic methods for detecting and evaluating such biases in educational materials remain limited. This study proposes an automated bias assessment approach that integrates the Contextualized Embedding Association Test with a prompt-engineered word extraction method within a Retrieval-Augmented Generation framework. We applied this method to AI-generated texts used in tutor training lessons. Results show a high alignment between the automated and manually curated word sets, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.993, indicating reliable and consistent bias assessment. Our method reduces human subjectivity and enhances fairness, scalability, and reproducibility in auditing GenAI-produced educational content.
Abstract:Colorectal cancer (CRC), which frequently originates from initially benign polyps, remains a significant contributor to global cancer-related mortality. Early and accurate detection of these polyps via colonoscopy is crucial for CRC prevention. However, traditional colonoscopy methods depend heavily on the operator's experience, leading to suboptimal polyp detection rates. Besides, the public database are limited in polyp size and shape diversity. To enhance the available data for polyp detection, we introduce Consisaug, an innovative and effective methodology to augment data that leverages deep learning. We utilize the constraint that when the image is flipped the class label should be equal and the bonding boxes should be consistent. We implement our Consisaug on five public polyp datasets and at three backbones, and the results show the effectiveness of our method.
