Pattern match and pattern-match with molecular editor

Hi Tim,

I had a slightly irritating comment from our IT department when I queried an issue with the pattern-match question-type not displaying the subscript/superscript buttons that went: 

"Also, with regard to the Pattern Match and Pattern Match Molecular editor question plugins, there also haven't been any further updates on those plugins since 2022. The reason why I'm bringing that to your attention is that you may have to consider other similar plugins in future if there are to be no further development planned on those two plugins. Just giving you a heads-up for your consideration."

Anyway - I assume that all is still well with these question types?

kind regards

Gareth

It is maintained by Tim Hunt of the Open University and the git repo was last updated 2 months ago so you can assume it is still well with that question type.

Before I read your post I had been thinking that AI LLM systems like ChatGPT or Groq cloud would be helping to create regular expressions to use with that question type.

HI Marcus,

I was thinking that the LLM would essentially replace the regex usage and might be easier to train. The LLM-driven question-types would allow for longer answers and more intricate grading as you have started to demonstrate. or now though, we are in a transition period.

best

The Pmatch and similar processes is accurate and narrow, the LLM/AI is wider and more varied. Pmatch is hard to get right even if you are like me a developer, but easier if you have the help of an LLM to create the regular expressions. It is early days with the use of LLM/AI for processing student responses.

Perfectly resonable irritation. These pluging have been kept up to date internally at the OU, but the task of putting the latest versions on github and publishing to the plugins DB keeps not quite getting done. I making another effort to get it done at the moment (by automating the process more, so it is easier to keep up-to-date in future) but I have not got there yet.
