Educational Dialogue

Educational dialogue research focuses on developing and evaluating AI systems capable of engaging in effective and pedagogically sound interactions with students. Current research emphasizes the use of large language models (LLMs), often enhanced with retrieval-augmented mechanisms and trained on datasets designed to ensure safety, ethical considerations, and human-like communication. Key areas of investigation include assessing the pedagogical effectiveness of these AI tutors, improving the generation of insightful questions and responses, and developing robust evaluation metrics tailored to the nuances of educational settings. This work holds significant potential for improving teaching practices and personalizing learning experiences.
