- Can Language Models Employ the Socratic Method? Experiments with Code Debugging (2023 · 38 citations)
The paper investigates whether large language models can act as Socratic tutors for beginner programmers. Instead of supplying a fix, such a tutor asks questions that lead students to locate and repair a bug themselves. Progress on such agents has been limited by a lack of suitable data, so the authors built a… - Socratic Questioning of Novice Debuggers: A Benchmark Dataset and Preliminary Evaluations (2023 · 34 citations)
