• Abstract: This study investigates how LLMs, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, can develop tailored questions for Grade 9 math, aligning with active learning principles. By utilizing an iterative method, these models adjust questions based on difficulty and content, responding to feedback from a simulated 'student' model. A novel aspect of the research involved using GPT-4 as a 'teacher' to create complex questions, with GPT-3.5 as the 'student' responding to these challenges. This setup mirrors active learning, promoting deeper engagement. The findings demonstrate GPT-4's superior ability to generate precise, challenging questions and notable improvements in GPT-3.5's ability to handle more complex problems after receiving instruction from GPT-4. These results underscore the potential of LLMs to mimic and enhance active learning scenarios, offering a promising path for AI in customized education. This research contributes to understanding how AI can support personalized learning experiences, highlighting the need for further exploration in various educational contexts

  ExACT is an approach to combine test-time search and self-learning to build o1-like models for agentic applications. We first introduce Reflective Monte Carlo Tree Search (R-MCTS), a novel test time algorithm designed to enhance AI agents' ability to explore decision space on the fly. Next, we introduce Exploratory Learning, a novel learning strategy to teach agents to search at inference time without relying on any external search algorithms.

  We propose a Self-Challenge evaluation framework with human-in-the-loop. Starting from seed instances that GPT-4 fails to answer, we prompt GPT-4 to summarize error patterns that can be used to generate new instances. We then build a benchmark, SC-G4, consisting of 1,835 instances generated by GPT-4 using these patterns, with human-annotated gold responses.
