A customized RAG chatbot for students
Students are using various LLMs for educational purposes, yet the tendency of LLMs to hallucinate and make errors, can be worrisome for a teacher. However, RAGs can enhance the quality of chatbot outputs, by constraining how the answers are constructed. In this talk I present how a) we relied on Microsoft Azure to build a customized RAG chatbot for 550 Philosophy of Science students in the Spring 2024, b) we document the quality of the answers provided by the chatbot, and how c) students perceived and used the customized chatbot. Establishing how to optimize such offerings and what the boundary conditions are at the centre of our current attention, while we currently build similar large-scale RAGs for Organizational Behavior and Math courses.
This talk will be given by Carsten Bergenholz, Aarhus University, Department of Management, in collaboration with Oana Vuculescu and Niels Lauritzen.
