Evaluating simulated teaching audio for teacher trainees using RAG and local LLMs by Ke Fang, Ci Tang, Jing Wang

“…However, traditional evaluations of simulated teaching typically rely on direct teacher involvement and guidance, increasing teachers’ workload and limiting the opportunities for teacher students to practice independently. This paper introduces a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework constructed using various open-source tools (such as FastChat for model inference and Whisper for speech-to-text) combined with a local large language model (LLM) for audio analysis of simulated teaching. …”
