FOKE: A Personalized and Explainable Education Framework Integrating Foundation Models, Knowledge Graphs, and Prompt Engineering
This work addresses the problem of enhancing educational services for learners worldwide by providing a more personalized and explainable approach, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing technologies like LLMs and KGs.
The paper tackles the challenge of achieving personalization, interactivity, and explainability in intelligent education by proposing FOKE, a framework that integrates foundation models, knowledge graphs, and prompt engineering, demonstrating its effectiveness in applications like programming education and homework assessment.
Integrating large language models (LLMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs) holds great promise for revolutionizing intelligent education, but challenges remain in achieving personalization, interactivity, and explainability. We propose FOKE, a Forest Of Knowledge and Education framework that synergizes foundation models, knowledge graphs, and prompt engineering to address these challenges. FOKE introduces three key innovations: (1) a hierarchical knowledge forest for structured domain knowledge representation; (2) a multi-dimensional user profiling mechanism for comprehensive learner modeling; and (3) an interactive prompt engineering scheme for generating precise and tailored learning guidance. We showcase FOKE's application in programming education, homework assessment, and learning path planning, demonstrating its effectiveness and practicality. Additionally, we implement Scholar Hero, a real-world instantiation of FOKE. Our research highlights the potential of integrating foundation models, knowledge graphs, and prompt engineering to revolutionize intelligent education practices, ultimately benefiting learners worldwide. FOKE provides a principled and unified approach to harnessing cutting-edge AI technologies for personalized, interactive, and explainable educational services, paving the way for further research and development in this critical direction.
