DESCRIPTION:Gerd Kortemeyer\nThe goal of Project Ethel is to build an AI-b
 ased open-source virtual teaching assistant for courses at ETH Zurich and 
 elsewhere\, which can support students and lecturers by holding office hou
 rs (“chat”)\, providing feedback on assessments\, and pre-grading assi
 gnments.\n\nToward that end\, artifacts generated or collected within a co
 urse\, such as lecture scripts\, slides\, lecture recordings\, homework as
 signments\, and library materials\, will be collected and made available i
 n a learning content management system\, processed through input pipelines
 \, and used to augment inputs to standard Large Language Models.\n\nThe ta
 lk presents a number of feasibility studies for different aspects of Ethel
  and discusses preliminary experiences from pilot studies within a handful
  of courses.\n\nGerd Kortemeyer is a member of the Rectorate and AI Center
  of ETH Zurich\, as such\, he spearheads initiatives to integrate Artifici
 al Intelligence into Higher Education.
