GEAR: Greek Student Forum Posts with LLM Empathy Responses

GEAR scrapes forum posts from the Greek educational community website ischool.gr, where students express anxiety about the Panhellenic exams. The dataset pairs these student posts with responses from three large language models, including Krikri and Aya, to evaluate LLM empathy and reasoning. It was created by PennyK98 and last updated on February 24, 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking LLM empathy and harm detection based on responses to student anxiety posts.
• Analyzing LLM reasoning quality in educational support conversations based on forum-derived prompts.
• Training or fine-tuning models for culturally-aware, Greek-language student counseling based on real forum data.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, high-stakes context: student anxiety about the Panhellenic exams.
• Pairs real student forum posts from ischool.gr with responses from three distinct LLMs for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and source bias inherent to a single Greek educational forum.
