让AI教学更透明,用可解释模型帮师生理解学习建议
A Human-Centric Approach to Explainable AI for Personalized Education
- 设计可解释的多模态模型架构,增强AI决策透明度
- 通过教师与学生测试,验证解释对信任感的提升作用
- 适合教育AI研发者与关注可信AI的教育工作者
深度神经网络在人工智能研究中占据核心地位,有望重塑自动驾驶、智能助手、医疗及教育等领域的用户体验。然而,这些模型在真实课堂中的应用仍受限,教师尚难为学生定制个性化作业、即时反馈或模拟答题表现。尽管模型预测性能优异,但其缺乏可解释性导致师生、家长信任不足。本文以个性化教与学为具体场景,将人类需求置于可解释人工智能(XAI)研究的核心,从技术突破与人类研究两方面推进。提出四项新方法:多模态模块化架构(MultiModN)、可解释专家混合模型(InterpretCC)、提升解释器稳定性的对抗训练,以及基于理论的LLM-XAI框架iLLuMinaTE,用于向学生呈现解释。在教授、教师、学习科学家与大学生中进行多场景评估。结合现有解释器的实证分析、新型架构设计与人类实验,为兼具先进性能与内在透明度的人类中心型AI系统奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep neural networks form the backbone of artificial intelligence research, with potential to transform the human experience in areas ranging from autonomous driving to personal assistants, healthcare to education. However, their integration into the daily routines of real-world classrooms remains limited. It is not yet common for a teacher to assign students individualized homework targeting their specific weaknesses, provide students with instant feedback, or simulate student responses to a new exam question. While these models excel in predictive performance, this lack of adoption can be attributed to a significant weakness: the lack of explainability of model decisions, leading to a lack of trust from students, parents, and teachers. This thesis aims to bring human needs to the forefront of eXplainable AI (XAI) research, grounded in the concrete use case of personalized learning and teaching. We frame the contributions along two verticals: technical advances in XAI and their aligned human studies. We investigate explainability in AI for education, revealing systematic disagreements between post-hoc explainers and identifying a need for inherently interpretable model architectures. We propose four novel technical contributions in interpretability with a multimodal modular architecture (MultiModN), an interpretable mixture-of-experts model (InterpretCC), adversarial training for explainer stability, and a theory-driven LLM-XAI framework to present explanations to students (iLLuMinaTE), which we evaluate in diverse settings with professors, teachers, learning scientists, and university students. By combining empirical evaluations of existing explainers with novel architectural designs and human studies, our work lays a foundation for human-centric AI systems that balance state-of-the-art performance with built-in transparency and trust.
