Listen "Haihao Liu - Reimagining AI-powered math tutoring"
Episode Synopsis
Knowledge graphs and neural networks – reimagining AI-powered math tutoring
This episode is a relatively technical discussion with a brilliant researcher about the potential of a hybrid AI solution to be used to develop an accurate and adaptive AI-powered math tutor.
Haihao Liu is currently serving as the Education Director for the Asian Community Development Center, a growing US-based nonprofit with a mission to empower the Asian American community. He is passionate about education equity and reform. He is pursuing a Master of Education in Learning Design, Innovation, and Technology at Harvard (currently on hiatus).
Haihao graduated from Rice University summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 2018 with dual degrees, a BS in Materials Science and Nano-Engineering and a BA in Mathematics. He worked from 2019 to 2022 as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and PhD Candidate at MIT, researching machine learning for making new materials, LLMs (before they were large), and embedding domain knowledge explicitly into the ML model architecture itself.
His nonprofit/startup Ternity Education aims to combine the bleeding edge of AI (including knowledge graphs and multi-agent IL+RL) with our modern understanding of neuroscience and learning sciences, to ultimately transform how students learn in this century and beyond!
The Education Innovators Podcast is a set of conversations between Eric Byron and guests from all aspects of education around the world. We look for innovative ideas and practical examples of things happening in schools and learning environments that are of interest to teachers, corporate trainers, school administrators, EdTech providers, students, parents, and anyone else interested in education.
