Abstract

Recent advancements in Large Language Model (LLM)-based intelligent support systems like ChatGPT have been trained on a vast amount of data available on the internet, including learner-generated content that is publicly accessible online. While these tools can generate high-quality responses to learners’ queries, they may inadvertently discourage interaction within the online learner community by providing direct answers instead of fostering discussion among learners in forums. Rather than replacing the learner community, how can AI systems foster its development? In this paper, we studied a data science learning community, Kaggle, and explored how AI models like Retrieval-Augmented Generation can complement learner sourcing with AI. We designed a Jupyter note-book extension, CompetiLearn, which generates responses to learners’ questions about a particular competition. These responses can be traced back to other learners’ sharing of high-quality analysis notebooks from the Kaggle platform. We propose to evaluate this approach through a comparative study, examining how learners perceive the quality, relevance, and trustworthiness of the gener ated content. Additionally, we will collect feedback on how learners perceive that this approach can help them engage with the broader data science learning community.
