多智能体系统让AI tutor能动态进化学生画像、知识库和教学策略。
CogEvo-Edu: Cognitive Evolution Educational Multi-Agent Collaborative System
- 分层多智能体架构,三层协同实现认知演化:感知、知识进化与元控制
- 在数字信号处理任务中,综合评分从5.32提升至9.23,全面超越基线
- 适合需要长期互动与自适应教学的高阶教育场景,如理工科辅导
大型语言模型(LLMs)正被用于STEM教育中的对话式辅导,但多数系统仍依赖单一模型与静态检索增强生成(RAG)流程。该设计在数字信号处理(DSP)等复杂领域难以应对:需维持连贯的长期学生模型、管理异构知识库,并在长时间交互中调整教学策略。本文提出将检索、记忆与控制视为耦合的认知演化过程。为此构建了CogEvo-Edu——一个分层教育多智能体系统,包含认知感知层(CPL)、知识演化层(KEL)和元控制层(MCL)。CPL维护双记忆并进行置信度加权融合,构建结构化、可自我修正的学生画像;KEL为每个知识块分配时空价值,驱动激活、语义压缩与遗忘;MCL将教学视为层级序列决策,通过双层循环联合优化各层超参数。为评估该系统,构建了垂直基准DSP-EduBench,涵盖异构资源、模拟学生画像与长周期交互脚本。采用三模型LLM-as-a-Judge集成评估,CogEvo-Edu将整体得分从5.32提升至9.23,六项指标均优于静态RAG、简单记忆及单智能体版本,验证了学生模型、知识库与教学策略协同演化的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as conversational tutors in STEM education, yet most systems still rely on a single LLM with a static retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline over course materials. This design struggles in complex domains such as digital signal processing (DSP), where tutors must maintain coherent long-term student models, manage heterogeneous knowledge bases, and adapt teaching strategies over extended interactions. We argue that retrieval, memory, and control should be treated as a coupled cognitive evolution process. We instantiate this view in CogEvo-Edu, a hierarchical educational multi-agent system comprising a Cognitive Perception Layer (CPL), a Knowledge Evolution Layer (KEL), and a Meta-Control Layer (MCL). CPL maintains dual memories and performs confidence-weighted consolidation to build structured, self-correcting student profiles under limited context. KEL assigns each knowledge chunk a spatiotemporal value that drives activation, semantic compression, and forgetting. MCL formulates tutoring as hierarchical sequential decision making, orchestrating specialized agents and jointly adapting CPL/KEL hyperparameters via a dual inner--outer loop. To evaluate CogEvo-Edu, we construct DSP-EduBench, a vertical benchmark for DSP tutoring with heterogeneous resources, simulated student profiles, and long-horizon interaction scripts. Using a three-model LLM-as-a-Judge ensemble, CogEvo-Edu raises the overall score from 5.32 to 9.23 and improves all six indicators over static RAG, simple memory, and a single-agent variant, demonstrating the value of jointly evolving student profiles, knowledge bases, and teaching policies.
