From Dry Theory to Vivid Practice: How AI Agents Explain Complex Concepts with Interactive Tutorials

Try This AI Agent yourself

Have you ever encountered complex technical concepts, like domain-specific terms or models, stared at mountains of material but couldn’t absorb it, or even if you understood it, forgot it quickly?

Today I want to share a very interesting experiment with you, to see just how much Artificial Intelligence (AI) can achieve — perhaps it will offer you some fresh inspiration.

The Origin

Here’s how it started: Recently, I was teaching a “Machine Learning” course to second-year undergraduates and covered a topic model called LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). If you’re a long-time reader of this public account, you should be familiar with this model. I last introduced it back in 2017.

This model is very useful in text analysis, but some of its terminology can really baffle beginners. For instance, there’s something called “hyperparameters,” which include the number of topics K, parameters like Alpha and Beta, and model evaluation metrics like Perplexity and Topic…
