A comprehensive Python framework for automated essay evaluation using OpenAI's GPT models. This tool enables educators to grade student essays at scale with customizable scoring rubrics, fine-tune models with their own grading data, and generate detailed feedback across multiple scoring dimensions.

## Features

- **Automated Essay Grading** - Evaluate student essays using fine-tuned OpenAI GPT-4o-mini models
- **Multiple Scoring Formats** - Choose from extended (multi-dimensional), item-specific, or short scoring formats
- **Custom Model Training** - Generate training datasets and fine-tune models with your own grading examples
- **Project Folder Mode** - Simple folder structure for organizing essays, rubrics, and prompts
- **Cost Tracking** - Built-in token usage and cost analysis for OpenAI API calls
- **Batch Processing** - Grade hundreds of essays with progress tracking and async processing
- **Multi-Pass Grading** - Run multiple grading passes for consistency checking
- **Rate Limit Handling** - Automatic retry logic and adaptive rate limiting
- **Comprehensive Logging** - Async logging for debugging and auditing

## Quick Start

### Installation

Install via pip:

```bash
pip install ai-essay-evaluator
```

Or using uv (recommended for development):

```bash
uv pip install ai-essay-evaluator
```

### Basic Usage

1. **Set up your project folder:**

```
my_project/
├── input.csv              # Student responses
├── question.txt           # Essay prompt
├── story/                 # Story files
│   └── story1.txt
└── rubric/                # Rubric files
    └── rubric1.txt
```

2. **Run the evaluator:**

```bash
python -m ai_essay_evaluator evaluator grader \
  --project-folder ./my_project \
  --scoring-format extended \
  --api-key YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY
```

3. **Check results in** `my_project/output/`

### Training Your Own Model

```bash
# Generate training data from graded examples
python -m ai_essay_evaluator trainer generate \
  --story-folder ./training/story \
  --question ./training/question.txt \
  --rubric ./training/rubric.txt \
  --csv ./training/graded_samples.csv \
  --output training.jsonl \
  --scoring-format extended

# Validate and fine-tune
python -m ai_essay_evaluator trainer validate --file training.jsonl
python -m ai_essay_evaluator trainer fine-tune \
  --file training.jsonl \
  --scoring-format extended \
  --api-key YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY
```
