Large lecture environments create several challenges for both students and professors:
- ❌ Limited student-professor communication
- ❌ Unaddressed student questions
- ❌ Professors unable to gauge class understanding
- ❌ Intrusive or disruptive questioning
- ❌ Busy interfaces distracting students
- ❌ Selective filtering of questions by professors
Existing approaches often fall short:
- 📢 Open Q&A sessions can be disruptive
- 📝 Digital platforms lack automation and intelligence
- ⚡ Students still struggle with real-time clarifications
We introduce an AI-powered assistant to revolutionize classroom engagement!

🔬 Reference: Béchard & Ayala, 2024, "Reducing Hallucination in Structured Outputs via Retrieval-Augmented Generation" (arXiv)
- 🛠 Currently using a weaker GenAI model due to resource constraints
- 🔄 While RAG improves accuracy, hallucinations cannot be fully eliminated
- 📊 AI highlights frequently asked questions, but human moderation is still needed
- ✨ Teacher Assistant Mode: Allows TAs to flag and refine AI responses
- 🎥 Demo & Q&A: Upcoming showcase of the system in action!
