Educators' Perceptions of Large Language Models as Tutors: Comparing Human and AI Tutors in a Blind Text-only Setting
The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) opens up the possibility of using them as personal tutors. This has led to the development of several intelligent tutoring systems and learning assistants that use LLMs as back-ends with various degrees of engineering. In this study, we seek to compare human tutors with LLM tutors in terms of engagement, empathy, scaffolding, and conciseness. We ask human tutors to annotate and compare the performance of an LLM tutor with that of a human tut…

AI Tutors vs. Tenacious Myths: Evidence from Personalised Dialogue Interventions in Education
Misconceptions in psychology and education persist despite clear contradictory evidence, resisting traditional correction methods. This study investigated whether personalised AI dialogue could effectively correct these stubborn beliefs. In a preregistered experiment (N = 375), participants holding strong psychology misconceptions engaged in one of three interventions: (1) personalised AI dialogue targeting their specific misconception, (2) generic textbook-style refutation, or (3) neutral AI d…

The original Jurassic Park flick was released in U.S. theaters today (June 11) in 1993. I was 13 at the time, and had actually read Crichton's book. I was psyched to see Jurassic Park in the theater, which I did, with my family. I loved it- it was wild. I was intrigued by dinosaurs then, and still am. But this was and still is the only JP movie I've seen- I never saw any of the sequels.
I've certainly had a crush on Laura Dern ever since 😍

Just did a once over on my Vimeo as a portfolio for a lead producer job application.
Mainly, just updated some descriptions. Nice to be reminded of some past work I like: #film

Propagation and Dynamics of Oscillating Tetraquark Systems
We have presented a theoretical investigation into the behavior of tetraquark states. These states are modeled as a non-relativistic four-body quantum system governed by harmonic interactions. Our goal is to capture the fundamental dynamics of quark-antiquark interactions in the tetraquark configuration. Within this framework, we have derived an analytical expression for the quantum propagator. This expression was then used to compute the time evolution of the wave function and the associated p…

It's finally warm enough outside to not need a jacket for these trips around the neighborhood.
