The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) has emerged as an exciting new line of research hoping to explore the potential of this revolutionary technology within the field of translation studies in general and its effect on translator training ecosystem. The aim of this study is to explore how AI’s evaluation of students’ legal translations aligns with instructors’ evaluations and to look at the potential benefits and challenges of using AI in evaluating legal translations tasks. Ten anonymous copies of instructor-graded English-to-Arabic mid-term exam translations were collected from an undergraduate legal translation course at a Saudi university and evaluated using ChatGPT-4o. The system was prompted to detect the translation errors and score the exam using the same rubric that was used by the instructors. A manual segment-by-segment comparison of ChatGPT-4o and human evaluations was conducted, categorizing errors by type and assessing alignment by comparing the scores statistically to determine if there were significant differences. The results indicated a high level of agreement between ChatGPT-4o and the instructors’ evaluation. In addition, paired sample t-test comparisons of instructor and ChatGPT-4o scores indicated no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). Feedback provided by ChatGPT-4o was clear and detailed, offering error explanations and suggested corrections. Although such results encourage effective integration of AI tools in TQA in translator training settings, strategic implementation that balances automation with human insight is essential. With proper design, training, and oversight, AI can play a meaningful role in supporting modern translation pedagogy. Full article

The development of medical question-answering systems (QASs) encounters substantial challenges due to the complexities of medical terminologies and the lack of reliable datasets. The shortcomings of traditional artificial intelligence (AI) driven QAS lead to generating outcomes with a higher rate of hallucinations. In order to overcome these limitations, there is a demand for a reliable QAS to understand and process complex medical queries and validate the quality and relevance of its outcomes. In this study, we develop a medical QAS by integrating SPARQL, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-Neo models. Using this strategy, we generate a synthetic dataset to train and validate the proposed model, addressing the limitations of the existing QASs. The proposed QAS was generalized on the MEDQA dataset. The findings revealed that the model achieves a generalization accuracy of 87.26% with a minimal hallucination rate of 0.16. The model outperformed the existing models by leveraging deep learning techniques to handle complex medical queries. The dynamic responsive capability of the proposed model enables it to maintain the accuracy of medical information in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Employing advanced hallucination reduction and query refinement techniques can fine-tune the model’s performance. Full article

Civil aviation airworthiness regulations are the fundamental basis for the design and operational safety of aircraft. Their provisions exhibit a high degree of specialization, cross-disciplinary complexity, and hierarchical structure. Moreover, the regulations are frequently updated, posing unique challenges for automated question-answering systems. While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in dialog and reasoning; however, they still face challenges such as difficulties in knowledge updating and a scarcity of high-quality domain-specific datasets when tackling knowledge-intensive tasks in the field of civil aviation regulations. This study introduces a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach that integrates retrieval modules with generative models to enable more efficient knowledge acquisition and updating, encompassing data processing and retrieval-based reasoning. The data processing stage comprises document conversion, information extraction, and document parsing modules. Additionally, a high-quality airworthiness regulation QA dataset was specifically constructed, covering multiple-choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions, with a total of 4688 entries. The retrieval-based reasoning stage employs vector search and re-ranking strategies, combined with prompt optimization, to enhance the model’s reasoning capabilities in specific airworthiness certification regulation comprehension tasks. A series of experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the retrieval-augmented generation approach in this domain, significantly improving answer accuracy and retrieval hit rates. Full article

Generative Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), powered by advanced language models like GPT-4, represent a transformative approach to personalized education through real-time adaptability, dynamic content generation, and interactive learning. This study presents a modular framework for designing and evaluating such systems, leveraging GPT-4’s capabilities to enable Socratic-style interactions and personalized feedback. A pilot implementation, the Socratic Playground for Learning (SPL), was tested with 30 undergraduate students, focusing on foundational English skills. The results showed significant improvements in vocabulary, grammar, and sentence construction, alongside high levels of engagement, adaptivity, and satisfaction. The framework employs lightweight JSON structures to ensure scalability and versatility across diverse educational contexts. Despite its promise, challenges such as computational demands and content validation highlight the main areas for future refinement. This research establishes a foundational approach for advancing Generative ITSs, offering key insights into personalized learning and the broader potential of Generative AI in education. Full article
