Good teaching instead breaks a problem into steps and offers hints. The authors call the goal of training models toward this tutoring behaviour "pedagogical alignment." They treat it as a learning from human preferences (LHP) problem… 3. **[Training LLM-Based Tutors to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Dialogues](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/scarlatos-2025-training-llm-based-tutors-improve/)** *(2025 · 38 citations)* LLM tutors are usually built by prompting or fine-tuning models to imitate good teaching practice. They are rarely optimized for whether students actually learn. The authors propose training a small open-source model, Llama 3.1 8B, to produce tutor turns that make a correct student reply more likely while still… 4. **[Novice Learner and Expert Tutor: Evaluating Math Reasoning Abilities of Large Language Models with Misconceptions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2023-novice-learner-expert-tutor-evaluating/)** *(2023 · 14 citations)* Standard math benchmarks for LLMs only check whether a model reaches the right answer. This paper asks whether models understand mathematical concepts well enough to reason about wrong answers. It uses multiple-choice grade-school questions from the Eedi platform, where each distractor is tied to a known student… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[WIRE: Wavelet Implicit Neural Representations ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr52729.2023.01775) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Vishwanath Saragadam et al.*2023 · 187 citations* 2.
