Automatic Item Generation
Gierl, Lai, & Turner
A practical foundation for generating high-quality assessment items from cognitive models.
AI for university teaching and assessment
The reasoning layer for modern coursework.
Classiqo helps professors generate high-quality, style-aligned questions and gives students a personalised tutoring experience while they solve them.
What we build
Teacher signal, student practice, one improving system.
Professors need assessment items that preserve their course style, reasoning depth, and grading expectations. Students need practice that adapts to how their own course is taught.
Classiqo connects both sides. Teacher choices shape generated questions. Student attempts reveal where reasoning breaks. The combined signal improves future questions, tutoring, and course insight.
Selected papers
Grounded in automated item generation.
Our research direction follows the automated item generation tradition associated with Mark J. Gierl: represent the reasoning structure first, then generate items that remain aligned to that structure.
Using Cognitive Models to Generate Test Items
Gierl & Lai
The core idea behind style-aligned question generation: model the reasoning, then generate controlled variation.
Automated Item Generation for Educational Assessment
Gierl, Lai, & colleagues
A research lineage for scalable assessment design, item templates, and validity-aware generation.
Careers
We hire for reasoning quality first.
Intern roles prioritise intellectual honesty, learning speed, taste, and problem-solving range over a perfect technical checklist. The AI engineering internship explores practical agentic workflows without exposing internal architecture. Paid roles own the agentic infrastructure, product quality, and market-standard execution needed to ship it.
