Investigating the Zone of Proximal Development of Language Models for In-Context Learning

Peng Cui, Mrinmaya Sachan

In this paper, we introduce a learning analytics framework to analyze the in-context learning (ICL) behavior of large language models (LLMs) through the lens of the Zone of Proxima…
