Successfully defended my thesis yesterday 🚀

Glad that my supervisor gets the innovation behind it - “An Adaptive Virtual Intelligent Tutor that autonomously learns and adjusts to your learning preferences”

The Intuitive Approach: fine-tune a high performant pre-trained large language model on a rich task-specific dataset (in my case code instruction dataset with adaptive instructions on how to teach coding/solve coding problems with adherence to the student’s learning style)

Then apply Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) during inference to update the knowledge base of the model in real-time with adaptive features learned from conversations with the model over time.

The app supports both real-time voice chat with an intelligent 3D Avatar (made with Soulmachine's Digital DNA studio) powered by the fine-tuned model and text chat with the locally hosted fine-tuned model.

With enough interactions you get an objective driven, task-specific and adaptive personalized tutor that completely gets you (knows your learning pace, your learning style and preferences).

This is what I feel is missing in today’s AI systems - Autonomously Adaptive Assistants (AAA) - and oh I’m currently writing a paper on this:)

Hi Jaward,
First, congratulations on successfully defending your thesis! It looks fantastic. Could you please share the link? I'd love to use it, as it seems excellent to me.

Thanks. I will when I'm done with the final version.
