TutorMoments: Do AI tutors know when to help and when to hold back?

Researchers have introduced TutorMoments, a new dataset designed to help AI tutoring systems determine the most effective timing for providing hints versus withholding support. By analyzing human pedagogical interactions, the project aims to improve how automated tools balance student autonomy with necessary guidance. This effort addresses a key challenge in educational technology, where overly frequent AI interventions can inadvertently hinder student learning and problem-solving skills.
