EduChat's core competencies are reflected in three dimensions:
- Vertical Optimization: Compared to generalized models such as ChatGPT, its training data contains 2 million Chinese educational dialog data and 2 million English teaching data, and it outperforms the 85% average accuracy of the generalized model in terms of subject knowledge accuracy (the measured educational scenarios amount to 92%).
- Innovations in teaching modelsThe unique Socratic dialogue mechanism, compared with Carnegie Learning and other intelligent tutoring systems, emphasizes more on thought guidance rather than knowledge instillation, and the quality of questioning has been evaluated by pedagogical experts to be at the level of a teacher's 87%.
- Open Source Customizable: Unlike commercial closed-source solutions (e.g., Duolingo's AI Tutor), full model weights and CleanTool toolchain are provided and supported:
- Data cleansing (de-duplication, mass filtering)
- Domain adaptation fine-tuning (support for adding school-based curriculum content)
- Hardware adaptation (version 1.8B runs on consumer GPUs)
According to the ICALK team's benchmarking, EduChat-13B outperforms LLaMA-2 of the same parameter size by 19 percentage points in terms of answer quality on TIMSS (The International Mathematics and Science Scale) type of questions, with a 271 TP3T lower error rate.
