Master Thesis / IDP: Prototype development of GenAI-tool for reading support

09.05.2025, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Based on existing work (see the SARA project), the reading tool should comprise the following components:

• Data Collection: Collect real-time eye-tracking data.
• Data Analysis: Use ML-methods to identify individual difficulties during reading.
• Reading Assistant: Design and implement an UI to provide real-time reading support e.g. using GenAI.
• Prototype Testing: Conduct a small user study to test the usability and functionality of the prototype.
• Optional: Develop a basic learner model.

We seek students interested in adaptive educational technologies, human-computer interaction, generative AI and cognitive processes of reading and learning. Participation in the project would require most (not necessarily all) of the following skills:

• Experience with programming languages (e.g. python, C++) and, optional but beneficial, common image processing libraries (e.g. OpenCV)
• Fundamental skills in handling, analysing and interpreting eye-tracking data (or other types of spatiotemporal data)
• Basic knowledge of and/or interest in ML-methods for data analysis and computer vision
• Basic knowledge of and/or interest in UX/UI design, testing, and implementation
• Ability to work on tasks independently, complete them in a structured and precise way, as well as present and discuss results comprehensible
• Interest in learning (more) about eye-tracking technologies and their application in educational technologies

If you are interested in working on this project, please contact us with your CV and current ToR.
