Response to "Concerning Thermal Tides on Hot Jupiters" (Goodman 2009; arXiv: 0901.3279) [PDF]
Motivated by the comments of Goodman (2009) on our paper concerning thermal tides (Arras and Socrates 2009a), we have studied an idealized problem to understand the global response of a completely fluid gas giant planet to thermal forcing at the surface (Arras and Socrates 2009b). Our findings disagree with the main claims in Goodman (2009).

Socratic: Enhancing Human Teamwork via AI-enabled Coaching [PDF]
Coaches are vital for effective collaboration, but cost and resource constraints often limit their availability during real-world tasks. This limitation poses serious challenges in life-critical domains that rely on effective teamwork, such as healthcare and disaster response. To address this gap, we propose and realize an innovative application of AI:

Physical Basis for a Constant Lag Time [PDF]
We show that the constant time lag prescription for tidal dissipation follows directly from the equations of motion of a tidally-forced viscous fluid body, given some basic assumptions. They are (i) dissipation results from a viscous force that is proportional to the velocity of the tidal flow (ii) tidal forcing and dissipation are weak and non ...

Relationship Between Thermal Tides and Radius Excess [PDF]
Close-in extrasolar gas giants -- the hot Jupiters -- display departures in radius above the zero-temperature solution, the radius excess, that are anomalously high. The radius excess of hot Jupiters follows a relatively close relation with thermal tidal tidal torques and holds for ~ 4-5 orders of magnitude in a characteristic thermal tidal power in ...

Resurrecting Socrates in the Age of AI: A Study Protocol for Evaluating a Socratic Tutor to Support Research Question Development in Higher Education [PDF]
Formulating research questions is a foundational yet challenging academic skill, one that generative AI systems often oversimplify by offering instant answers at the expense of student reflection. This protocol lays out a study grounded in constructivist learning theory to evaluate a novel AI-based Socratic Tutor, designed to foster cognitive ...

Improving Socratic Question Generation using Data Augmentation and Preference Optimization [PDF]
The Socratic method is a way of guiding students toward solving a problem independently without directly revealing the solution to the problem. Although this method has been shown to significantly improve student learning outcomes, it remains a complex labor-intensive task for instructors.

Socratic Planner: Self-QA-Based Zero-Shot Planning for Embodied Instruction Following [PDF]
Embodied Instruction Following (EIF) is the task of executing natural language instructions by navigating and interacting with objects in interactive environments. A key challenge in EIF is compositional task planning, typically addressed through supervised learning or few-shot in-context learning with labeled data.

Enhancing Critical Thinking in Education by means of a Socratic Chatbot [PDF]
While large language models (LLMs) are increasingly playing a pivotal role in education by providing instantaneous, adaptive responses, their potential to promote critical thinking remains understudied. In this paper, we fill such a gap and present an innovative educational chatbot designed to foster critical thinking through Socratic questioning ...
