Project description

Teaching experience has shown that university students tend to rely on chatbots based on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to better understand complex topics from lectures. Due to known limitations with these general-purpose models, such as hallucinations, students often internalize incorrect information. Additionally, the learned content deviates from the boundaries set by the provided course materials. To address this, Infobot was developed, which is a chatbot that is capable of searching through course materials and providing answers to students’ questions based solely on course contents. Infobot is intended to serve as a navigational tool that helps students locate the right entry point to course materials to answer their questions, and as a tutor that answers their question in an interactive and learning-friendly way. Through an intuitive interface, students are taught multi-modally with the help of texts, slides, figures, oral explanations, and equations.
