arXiv:2608. 09374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrical circuit analysis requires more than recognizing components in an image.
The paper introduces an enhanced end‑to‑end circuit analysis framework built on Gemini 2.5 Pro, targeting engineering education. It addresses two key failure modes—circuit‑recognition hallucinations and reasoning‑process hallucinations—by adding a YOLO detector for source polarity re‑identification and an ngspice verification loop for iterative refinement. The resulting pipeline achieves 97.59 % accuracy on 83 undergraduate problems, markedly outperforming the baseline Gemini model and demonstrating significant gains across varied diagram styles and textbooks.
arXiv:2608. 07364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contribution: This paper presents a six-phase AI-assisted instructional design architecture based on the Curriculum as Code paradigm, integrating Generative AI with LaTeX and Python to automate the creation of reproducible, visually consistent, and technically precise materials for STEM education.
arXiv:2504. 03711v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven electronic design automation (EDA) techniques have been extensively explored for VLSI circuit design applications.
PEARL is a framework that trains Socratic tutoring agents using pedagogically aligned reinforcement learning. It introduces a controllable student simulator to model diverse cognitive states, a reward model that jointly evaluates pedagogical quality and correctness, and a stable multi‑objective RL approach to balance competing tutoring goals. Experiments demonstrate that PEARL competes with both open‑source tutoring systems and leading proprietary LLMs.
arXiv:2608. 13472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Analog circuit design is a time-consuming, iterative process in a nonlinear and high-dimensional design space that relies heavily on expert intuition.
