Abstract

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have enabled the generation of high-quality multimodal data, including text, audio, and visual content. These developments offer significant opportunities to improve assessment practices in computer science education, particularly within postgraduate machine learning courses. This paper investigates the integration of generative visual technologies into the assessment framework for computer vision coursework, aiming to evaluate their effectiveness in assessing student submissions through the creation of synthetic test cases.
