Subclaims¶

q2 i? Compared with DGCPL, ProPRL has a larger model (2.68M vs 1.89M parameters) and more training time, but is faster at inference on MOOC and UCD and slower on LectureBank. → Xinghe Cheng 2026

Efficiency comparison (Table 3) of ProPRL and DGCPL on the original data splits. ProPRL is "fasterthanDGCPLonMOOCandUCD,althoughitrequires more inference time on LectureBank"; the authors conclude the overhead is acceptable.

"Nevertheless, ProPRL remains lightweight, using less than 40 MB of GPU memory on all datasets and requir-inglessthan0.18secondsfortest-timeinference."
