为网络安全专业非传统学生打造智能助学平台,实时提供个性化学习与职业指导。

CyberMentor: AI Powered Learning Tool Platform to Address Diverse Student Needs in Cybersecurity Education

  • 基于代理工作流与RAG技术,实现精准知识检索与个性化建议。
  • 在三类场景中验证其在知识获取、技能训练与职业准备上的有效性。
  • 开源设计适合跨学科复用,助力教育公平与可持续发展。

网络安全专业中的非传统学生常缺乏来自同龄人、家人及教师的指导,影响学习体验。同时,现有大语言模型(LLM)驱动的AI助手因内容相关性差、地域适配弱、最低专业门槛和时机不匹配等问题,难以满足其需求。本文提出CyberMentor学习工具平台,通过代理式工作流与生成式大语言模型(LLMs)结合检索增强生成(RAG)技术,为学生提供涵盖知识、技能与职业规划的定制化支持。平台在三类使用场景中验证了其在知识获取、分析与编程任务技能提升以及即时学习支持方面的价值。采用LangChain提示评估方法,结果显示平台在帮助性、正确性和完整性上表现优异。该系统有效促进学生实践能力发展,提升高等教育公平性与可持续性。其开源架构支持跨学科迁移,推动教育创新并扩大应用潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Many non-traditional students in cybersecurity programs often lack access to advice from peers, family members and professors, which can hinder their educational experiences. Additionally, these students may not fully benefit from various LLM-powered AI assistants due to issues like content relevance, locality of advice, minimum expertise, and timing. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing an application designed to provide comprehensive support by answering questions related to knowledge, skills, and career preparation advice tailored to the needs of these students. We developed a learning tool platform, CyberMentor, to address the diverse needs and pain points of students majoring in cybersecurity. Powered by agentic workflow and Generative Large Language Models (LLMs), the platform leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for accurate and contextually relevant information retrieval to achieve accessibility and personalization. We demonstrated its value in addressing knowledge requirements for cybersecurity education and for career marketability, in tackling skill requirements for analytical and programming assignments, and in delivering real time on demand learning support. Using three use scenarios, we showcased CyberMentor in facilitating knowledge acquisition and career preparation and providing seamless skill-based guidance and support. We also employed the LangChain prompt-based evaluation methodology to evaluate the platform's impact, confirming its strong performance in helpfulness, correctness, and completeness. These results underscore the system's ability to support students in developing practical cybersecurity skills while improving equity and sustainability within higher education. Furthermore, CyberMentor's open-source design allows for adaptation across other disciplines, fostering educational innovation and broadening its potential impact.
