Paper to Podcast Significantly Improves Academic Content Comprehension Using a Multi-Role Conversation Format
Paper to Podcast employs a dialog structure with three roles: facilitator, learner, and expert, a design derived from the cognitive load theory in educational psychology. Experiments have demonstrated that multiple dialogic perspectives can break down complex academic concepts into more comprehensible pieces. For example, the facilitator is responsible for the overall framework introduction, the learners raise typical confusions on behalf of the audience, and the experts provide in-depth answers. This form of interaction avoids the drawbacks of unidirectional information infusion and creates a virtuous cycle of cognitive interaction.
The project developers implemented this dialog transformation through Discussion Chain, a module that combines retrieval-enhanced generation techniques to ensure that the content of the dialog remains consistent with the original text. Compared to the traditional way of reading papers, this multi-person dialog format has the following advantages:
- High knowledge uptake: can improve understanding by 40-60%
- Longer memory retention: audio information lasts longer than textual memory
- Learning is fun: scenario-based conversations avoid boredom
- Faster application conversion: more direct effect of communicating practical knowledge
