Create a ChatGPT A.I. Bot With Tkinter

#artificialintelligence

Created by John Elder 1.5 hours on-demand video course In this course I'll teach you how to make graphical user interfaces for Python using TKinter, and how to connect those apps to the ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence API. You'll be surprised just how quickly you can create some pretty cool looking apps! You'll be able to type questions to ChatGPT straight from your app, and receive a response that is output to the screen of your app. Finally, I'll discuss how to connect to ChatGPT with an API Key, query the engine, and parse the responses in the correct way. If you've seen ChatGPT recently and want to learn how to use it programmatically, then this is the course for you!


Majorization Minimization Methods for Distributed Pose Graph Optimization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We consider the problem of distributed pose graph optimization (PGO) that has important applications in multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). We propose the majorization minimization (MM) method for distributed PGO ($\mathsf{MM-PGO}$) that applies to a broad class of robust loss kernels. The $\mathsf{MM-PGO}$ method is guaranteed to converge to first-order critical points under mild conditions. Furthermore, noting that the $\mathsf{MM-PGO}$ method is reminiscent of proximal methods, we leverage Nesterov's method and adopt adaptive restarts to accelerate convergence. The resulting accelerated MM methods for distributed PGO -- both with a master node in the network ($\mathsf{AMM-PGO}^*$) and without ($\mathsf{AMM-PGO}^{\#}$) -- have faster convergence in contrast to the $\mathsf{AMM-PGO}$ method without sacrificing theoretical guarantees. In particular, the $\mathsf{AMM-PGO}^{\#}$ method, which needs no master node and is fully decentralized, features a novel adaptive restart scheme and has a rate of convergence comparable to that of the $\mathsf{AMM-PGO}^*$ method using a master node to aggregate information from all the other nodes. The efficacy of this work is validated through extensive applications to 2D and 3D SLAM benchmark datasets and comprehensive comparisons against existing state-of-the-art methods, indicating that our MM methods converge faster and result in better solutions to distributed PGO.

MATT: Multimodal Attention Level Estimation for e-learning Platforms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This work presents a new multimodal system for remote attention level estimation based on multimodal face analysis. Our multimodal approach uses different parameters and signals obtained from the behavior and physiological processes that have been related to modeling cognitive load such as faces gestures (e.g., blink rate, facial actions units) and user actions (e.g., head pose, distance to the camera). The multimodal system uses the following modules based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Eye blink detection, head pose estimation, facial landmark detection, and facial expression features. First, we individually evaluate the proposed modules in the task of estimating the student's attention level captured during online e-learning sessions. For that we trained binary classifiers (high or low attention) based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) for each module. Secondly, we find out to what extent multimodal score level fusion improves the attention level estimation. The mEBAL database is used in the experimental framework, a public multi-modal database for attention level estimation obtained in an e-learning environment that contains data from 38 users while conducting several e-learning tasks of variable difficulty (creating changes in student cognitive loads).


Proactive and Reactive Engagement of Artificial Intelligence Methods for Education: A Review

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Quality education, one of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs) identified by the United Nations General Assembly, stands to benefit enormously from the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) driven tools and technologies. The concurrent boom of necessary infrastructure, digitized data and general social awareness has propelled massive research and development efforts in the artificial intelligence for education (AIEd) sector. In this review article, we investigate how artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning methods are being utilized to support students, educators and administrative staff. We do this through the lens of a novel categorization approach. We consider the involvement of AI-driven methods in the education process in its entirety - from students admissions, course scheduling etc. in the proactive planning phase to knowledge delivery, performance assessment etc. in the reactive execution phase. We outline and analyze the major research directions under proactive and reactive engagement of AI in education using a representative group of 194 original research articles published in the past two decades i.e., 2003 - 2022. We discuss the paradigm shifts in the solution approaches proposed, i.e., in the choice of data and algorithms used over this time. We further dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic challenged and reshaped the education landscape at the fag end of this time period. Finally, we pinpoint existing limitations in adopting artificial intelligence for education and reflect on the path forward.


Road Map to Machine Learning & Deep Learning
