BRIDGE the Gap: Mitigating Bias Amplification in Automated Scoring of English Language Learners via Inter-group Data Augmentation

Researchers developed BRIDGE, a framework to reduce bias in AI-powered automated scoring systems that unfairly penalize English Language Learners (ELLs). The system addresses representation bias by generating synthetic high-scoring ELL samples, achieving fairness improvements comparable to using additional human data while maintaining overall performance.

When Does Multimodal Learning Help in Healthcare? A Benchmark on EHR and Chest X-Ray Fusion

Researchers conducted a systematic benchmark study on multimodal fusion between Electronic Health Records (EHR) and chest X-rays for clinical decision support, revealing when and how combining data modalities improves healthcare AI performance. The study found that multimodal fusion helps when data is complete but benefits degrade under realistic missing data scenarios, and released an open-source benchmarking toolkit for reproducible evaluation.
