Learning content by heart can be facilitated by the method of Loci. In this mnemonic technique, the learner converts pieces of information into mental imagery. The imagined representations are then anchored in a location. If the learner then traverses a path through this location, the information can be remembered by recalling the mental imagery. However, ...
The emergence of large language models (LLMs), along with recent advances in mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR), enable new opportunities for applying virtual agents in education. These simulated humans can imitate real-life situations and interactions with native speakers, which leads to an immersive and engaging learning experience. Especially in VR, interactions can be ...
Large Language Models (LLM) can be applied to transform a natural language (NL)-based text input query into a NL-based text answer. A common use case are personal assistants, e.g., for learning activities. In such teaching contexts they can process knowledge recorded in plain text documents, create summarizations, or teach knowledge according to a curriculum. However, ...
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate and extend a developing ontology of explainable data principles, an ongoing work aimed at establishing a structured framework for Data Explainability in AI systems.
