Socratic Model

Socratic models leverage the strengths of large language models (LLMs) to emulate the Socratic method of teaching and problem-solving, focusing on iterative questioning and guided reasoning. Current research explores applications in diverse fields, including educational technology (creating interactive tutoring systems), mental health (reframing negative thoughts), and robotics (human-robot interaction), often employing techniques like prompt engineering and data synthesis to improve LLM performance. This approach holds significant promise for enhancing personalized learning, improving mental well-being, and advancing human-centered AI systems by enabling more nuanced and effective interactions between humans and AI.
