Improving Environment Novelty Quantification for Effective Unsupervised Environment Design

Neural Information Processing Systems

Unsupervised Environment Design (UED) formalizes the problem of autocur-ricula through interactive training between a teacher agent and a student agent. The teacher generates new training environments with high learning potential, curating an adaptive curriculum that strengthens the student's ability to handle unseen scenarios. Existing UED methods mainly rely on regret, a metric that measures the difference between the agent's optimal and actual performance, to





SocraticLM: Exploring Socratic Personalized Teaching with Large Language Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language models (LLMs) are considered a crucial technology for advancing intelligent education since they exhibit the potential for an in-depth understanding of teaching scenarios and providing students with personalized guidance. Nonetheless, current LLM-based application in personalized teaching predominantly follows a "Question-Answering" paradigm, where students are passively provided with answers and explanations. In this paper, we propose SocraticLM, which achieves a Socratic "Thought-Provoking" teaching paradigm that fulfills the role of a real classroom teacher in actively engaging students in the thought


Scalable Early Childhood Reading Performance Prediction

Neural Information Processing Systems

Currently, students are identified as needing additional educational support using a'wait-to-fail' approach, i.e., waiting until a child has not made expected gains in reading before there is a reevaluation of their instructional needs.
