Abstract
"The handwriting of Chinese characters is a fundamental aspect of learning the Chinese language. Previous automated assessment methods often framed scoring as a regression problem. However, this score-only feedback lacks actionable guidance, which limits its effectiveness in helping learners improve their handwriting skills.In this paper, we leverage vision-language models(VLMs) to analyze the quality of handwritten Chinese characters and generate multi-level feedback. Specifically, we investigate two feedback generation tasks: simple grade feedback (Task 1)and enriched, descriptive feedback (Task 2). We explore both low-rank adaptation (LoRA)-based fine-tuning strategies and in-context learning methods to integrate aesthetic assessment knowl-edge into VLMs. Experimental results show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performances across multiple evaluation tracks in the CCL 2025 workshop on evaluation of handwrittenChinese character quality."
