New generation of virtual humans helping to train psychologists

AITopics Original Links

"As this technology continues to improve, it will have a significant impact on how clinical training is conducted in psychology and medicine," said psychologist and virtual reality technology expert Albert "Skip" Rizzo, PhD, who demonstrated recent advancements in virtual reality for use in psychology. Virtual humans can now be highly interactive, artificially intelligent and capable of carrying on a conversation with real humans, according to Rizzo, a research scientist at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. "This has set the stage for the'birth' of intelligent virtual humans to be used in clinical training settings," he said. Rizzo showed videos of clinical psychiatry trainees engaging with virtual patients called "Justin" and "Justina." Justin is a 16-year-old with a conduct disorder who is being forced by his family to participate in therapy.

These free courses are created from Udemy, Coursera, edX, and Pluralsight and designed by experts and trusted by thousands of people who want to learn Artificial Intelligence. Clicking on this article link shows that you are very interested in learning more about artificial intelligence but wait! Learning artificial intelligence is not that easy and never will be.


[2021] Machine Learning and Deep Learning Bootcamp in Python

#artificialintelligence

This course is about the fundamental concepts of machine learning, focusing on regression, SVM, decision trees and neural networks. These topics are getting very hot nowadays because these learning algorithms can be used in several fields from software engineering to investment banking. Learning algorithms can recognize patterns which can help detect cancer for example or we may construct algorithms that can have a very good guess about stock prices movement in the market. In each section we will talk about the theoretical background for all of these algorithms then we are going to implement these problems together. We will use Python with SkLearn, Keras and TensorFlow.


An AI-based Learning Companion Promoting Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education has great potential for building more personalised curricula, as well as democratising education worldwide and creating a Renaissance of new ways of teaching and learning. We believe this is a crucial moment for setting the foundations of AI in education in the beginning of this Fourth Industrial Revolution. This report aims to synthesize how AI might change (and is already changing) how we learn, as well as what technological features are crucial for these AI systems in education, with the end goal of starting this pressing dialogue of how the future of AI in education should unfold, engaging policy makers, engineers, researchers and obviously, teachers and learners. This report also presents the advances within the X5GON project, a European H2020 project aimed at building and deploying a cross-modal, cross-lingual, cross-cultural, cross-domain and cross-site personalised learning platform for Open Educational Resources (OER).


Course Difficulty Estimation Based on Mapping of Bloom's Taxonomy and ABET Criteria

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Current Educational system uses grades or marks to assess the performance of the student. The marks or grades a students' scores depends on different parameters, the main parameter being the difficulty level of a course. Computation of this difficulty level may serve as a support for both the students and teachers to fix the level of training needed for successful completion of course. In this paper, we proposed a methodology that estimates the difficulty level of a course by mapping the Bloom's Taxonomy action words along with Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria and learning outcomes. The estimated difficulty level is validated based on the history of grades secured by the students.


Words of Wisdom: Representational Harms in Learning From AI Communication

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Many educational technologies use artificial intelligence (AI) that presents generated or produced language to the learner. We contend that all language, including all AI communication, encodes information about the identity of the human or humans who contributed to crafting the language. With AI communication, however, the user may index identity information that does not match the source. This can lead to representational harms if language associated with one cultural group is presented as "standard" or "neutral", if the language advantages one group over another, or if the language reinforces negative stereotypes. In this work, we discuss a case study using a Visual Question Generation (VQG) task involving gathering crowdsourced data from targeted demographic groups. Generated questions will be presented to human evaluators to understand how they index the identity behind the language, whether and how they perceive any representational harms, and how they would ideally address any such harms caused by AI communication. We reflect on the educational applications of this work as well as the implications for equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

A Tutorial on Spiking Neural Networks for Beginners

#artificialintelligence

Despite being quite effective in a variety of tasks across industries, deep learning is constantly evolving, proposing new neural network (NN) architectures, deep learning (DL) tasks, and even brand new concepts of the next generation of NNs, such as the Spiking Neural Network (SNN). SNN was introduced by the researchers at Heidelberg University and the University of Bern developing as a fast and energy-efficient technique for computing using spiking neuromorphic substrates. In this article, we will mostly discuss Spiking Neural Network as a variant of neural network. We will also try to understand how is it different from the traditional neural networks. Below is a list of the important topics to be tackled.
