Knowledge graphs are useful representations for knowledge bases, #pkm, #AImemory systems, #GraphRAG, intelligent tutoring systems, etc., and usually implemented in graph databases. LadybugDB, a fork of the discontinued Kuzu, is a lightweight embedded (like SQLite) graph database: https://github.com/LadybugDB/ladybug Sample applications in development: https://github.com/inventivepotter/dotmd &amp; https://github.com/tejzpr/Smriti-MCP See also Grafeo: https://github.com/GrafeoDB/grafeo #AIE...

SafeTutors: Benchmarking Pedagogical Safety in AI Tutoring Systems https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.17373 &quot;the primary risk is not toxic content but the quiet erosion of learning through answer over-disclosure, misconception reinforcement, and the abdication of scaffolding&quot; &quot;We uncover that all models show broad harm; scale doesn&#39;t reliably help; and multi-turn dialogue worsens behavior, with pedagogical failures rising from 17.7% to 77.8%.&quot; #AIEd #EdTech

Academic Integrity in the Age of AI https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/universitypress-integrity-in-the-age-of-ai/8652D952D1C480A46996183626BE3DD7 is free until April 20th. It&#39;s about 60 pages long, summarized in the NotebookLM infographic below. Hopefully it&#39;s not totally giving up on #OnlineLearning as the infographic suggests.

The DOJ has delayed its accessibility deadline (April 24) by one year (2027): https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/20/2026-07663/extension-of-compliance-dates-for-nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web In other news, the free PAVE tool for fixing PDF accessibility has been upgraded to 2.0. It can still be very time-consuming and complex to fix a single PDF, however. You have to fix all the regions, fix the reading order, etc. of every single page: https://...
