NCSoft announced on the 16th that it has signed a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Woongjin ThinkBig and Tutorus Labs to develop an 'AI Customized Learning Service for Digital Textbooks.'

The three-party agreement, held on the 10th at NC R&D Center, aims to develop ▲ an education-dedicated language model based on VARCO LLM ▲ learner-customized speech synthesis technology using NC TTS ▲ tutoring chatbot technology based on 'Tutorus Math Tutor.'

NCSoft (NC) will build an education-specific LLM based on its self-developed VARCO LLM (language model). Using the education-specific LLM, learning questions will be automatically generated and delivered through speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies.

Woongjin ThinkBig, a specialized educational technology company, will provide various learning-related technologies through this agreement. AI education service company Tutorus Labs will be responsible for developing tutoring chatbot technology that evaluates solution processes and provides explanations to learners.

Based on its accumulated expertise in domain language models, NCSoft will collaborate with the two companies to offer AI customized learning services. The goal is to provide students with individualized tailored learning experiences and propose a new educational paradigm that supports their growth.

Lee Yeonsu, head of NCSoft’s NLP Center, stated, "This collaboration will be a representative case of AI technology applied in the digital education field," adding, "We hope to create a better educational environment by providing learning experiences tailored to each student."
