用知识图谱增强的AI助教,确保网络安全教育回答准确安全
CyberBOT: Towards Reliable Cybersecurity Education via Ontology-Grounded Retrieval Augmented Generation
- 结合课程资料与安全领域知识图谱,约束大模型生成内容
- 在亚利桑那州立大学超百名研究生使用,系统响应可靠
- 适合需要高可信度的工程类、安全类教学场景
大型语言模型的发展推动了支持探究式学习的智能教育工具进步。在网络安全教育中,准确性和安全性至关重要,系统必须超越表面相关性,提供可信且领域适配的信息。为此,我们提出CyberBOT,一个基于检索增强生成(RAG)管道的问答聊天机器人,通过课程特定材料中的上下文信息和领域专属网络安全知识图谱验证回答。知识图谱作为结构化推理层,约束并验证大模型生成内容,降低误导或不安全建议的风险。CyberBOT已部署于亚利桑那州立大学的一门大规模研究生课程中,超过一百名学生通过专用网页平台主动使用该系统。实验室环境下的计算评估展示了CyberBOT的潜力,后续将开展实地研究以评估其教学影响。通过融合结构化领域推理与现代生成能力,CyberBOT为开发可靠且课程对齐的AI教育应用提供了可行方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Advancements in large language models (LLMs) have enabled the development of intelligent educational tools that support inquiry-based learning across technical domains. In cybersecurity education, where accuracy and safety are paramount, systems must go beyond surface-level relevance to provide information that is both trustworthy and domain-appropriate. To address this challenge, we introduce CyberBOT, a question-answering chatbot that leverages a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline to incorporate contextual information from course-specific materials and validate responses using a domain-specific cybersecurity ontology. The ontology serves as a structured reasoning layer that constrains and verifies LLM-generated answers, reducing the risk of misleading or unsafe guidance. CyberBOT has been deployed in a large graduate-level course at Arizona State University (ASU), where more than one hundred students actively engage with the system through a dedicated web-based platform. Computational evaluations in lab environments highlight the potential capacity of CyberBOT, and a forthcoming field study will evaluate its pedagogical impact. By integrating structured domain reasoning with modern generative capabilities, CyberBOT illustrates a promising direction for developing reliable and curriculum-aligned AI applications in specialized educational contexts.
