Human–Machine Peer Learning (HMPL) is a proposal that is positioned at the very frontier between educational, cognitive, and computer sciences. HMPL's core precepts which I introduced in my 2022 and 2023 papers are simple:

In the second Hromada & Kim (2023) article, we describe first, syllable-oriented exercise by means of which the Primer aimed to assist one 5-year-old pre-schooler in increase of her reading competence. The pupil went through sequence of exercises composed of evaluation and learning tasks. Consistently with previous HMPL study, we observe increase of both child's reading skill as well as of machine's ability to accurately process child's speech.

A Mid-Sized Language Model (MLM) is a generative language model is an advanced AI system comprising of maximum 10 billion (miliarden!) parameters, organized into multiple layers with attention mechanisms. These layers process and interpret vast amounts of text data, while the attention mechanisms allow the model to focus on relevant parts of the input. This architecture enables the model to understand and generate human-like language, perform nuanced tasks like answering complex questions, writing detailed texts, and engaging in sophisticated conversations, leveraging its deep learning capabilities.

Essentially, You have three options:

fine-tuning (in every training step, training process updates billions and billions of parameters)

training a LoRa (instead of updating billions of parameters, You update just few millions)

do Retrieval Augmented Generation

"I"-Avatarization is the process whereby a living human H consciously creates, develops, fine tunes and optimizes (his|her) own generative AI avatar datasets & models.

That is, using datasets (mails, chat transcripts etc.) to create a generative AI copy of one's self (an "I-Avatar") which could provide information in situation when H (her|him)self is not alive anymore.

On a machine amsel.udk.ai (running somewhere in this room), there are many nice Generative AI tools installed, including:

text-generation-webui web-based interface for work with language models

Training PRO extension for training LoRas for Mistral-architecture models

superbooga-v2 for easy RAG prototyping

We define an Extended Educational Environment (EEE or E3) as an immersive and interactive XR learning environment enriched with AI-driven artifacts and avatars. These avatars and artifacts, developed using tools like UnrealEngine and MetaHuman, each possess distinct "personalities" or "characters" reflecting their underlying knowledge bases and machine learning models.

We use mid-sized (< 8 billion parameters) large language models derived from Llama 3.1 8B  and Mistral 7b base models.

On top of these models, we subsequently train specific adapters by means of Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA) methodology.

Additionally, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is also deployed in order to increase response accuracy.

Narrative AI in Education refers to the use of artificial intelligence to deliver learning experiences through storytelling, blending traditional educational methods with advanced, personalized digital tools. This approach leverages technologies such as speech-to-text, text-to-speech, language models and, optionally, image generation to create interactive, voice-driven narratives that adapt to each learner’s needs, preferences, and abilities. Unlike conventional screen-based learning, narrative AI fosters engagement through immersive storytelling, making education accessible also to children with visual impairment or from screen-critical communities. 

spectacular things are already happening in "open source" branch of AIED

with USA gradually becoming the prey of the dark side, immediate deployment of "walled garden" approaches is of utmost importance

all "bricks " to build Your educational "cathedral" are available out there (GitHub, Huggingface) and ready to serve
