• Abstract: We propose a simple way to use large language models (LLMs) in education. Specifically, our method aims to improve individual comprehension by adding a novel feature to online videos. We combine the low threshold for interactivity in digital experiences with the benefits of rephrased and elaborated explanations typical of face-to-face interactions, thereby supporting to close knowledge gaps at scale. To demonstrate the technical feasibility of our approach, we conducted a proof-of-concept experiment and implemented a prototype which is available for testing online. Through the use case, we also show how caching can be applied in LLM-powered applications to reduce their carbon footprint.

  This paper tries to learn and understand underlying semantic variations from distracting videos via offline-to-online latent distillation and flexible disentanglement constraints. We pretrain the action-free video prediction model offline with disentanglement regularization to extract semantic knowledge from distracting videos. For finetuning in the online environment, we exploit the knowledge from the pretrained model and introduce a disentanglement constraint to the world model.

  Chain-of-Spot (CoS) method is a novel approach that enhances feature extraction by focusing on key regions of interest.

Our empirical findings demonstrate a significant improvement in LVLMs' ability to understand and reason about visual content.
