Towards Teachable Autonomous Agents

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Autonomous discovery and direct instruction are two extreme sources of learning in children, but educational sciences have shown that intermediate approaches such as assisted discovery or guided play resulted in better acquisition of skills. When turning to Artificial Intelligence, the above dichotomy is translated into the distinction between autonomous agents which learn in isolation and interactive learning agents which can be taught by social partners but generally lack autonomy. In between should stand teachable autonomous agents: agents learning from both internal and teaching signals to benefit from the higher efficiency of assisted discovery. Such agents could learn on their own in the real world, but non-expert users could drive their learning behavior towards their expectations. More fundamentally, combining both capabilities might also be a key step towards general intelligence. In this paper we elucidate obstacles along this research line. First, we build on a seminal work of Bruner to extract relevant features of the assisted discovery processes. Second, we describe current research on autotelic agents, i.e. agents equipped with forms of intrinsic motivations that enable them to represent, self-generate and pursue their own goals. We argue that autotelic capabilities are paving the way towards teachable and autonomous agents. Finally, we adopt a social learning perspective on tutoring interactions and we highlight some components that are currently missing to autotelic agents before they can be taught by ordinary people using natural pedagogy, and we provide a list of specific research questions that emerge from this perspective.


Python Data Science Bootcamp with 5 Data Science Projects

#artificialintelligence

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, algorithms to extract clean information from raw data for the formulation of actionable insights. The Data Science field is growing so rapidly, and revolutionizing so many industries. Data Science has incalculable benefits in business, research, and our everyday lives. Your route to work, your most recent Google search for the nearest coffee shop, your Instagram post about what you ate, and even the health data from your fitness tracker are all important to different data scientists in different ways. Sifting through massive lakes of data, looking for connections and patterns, data science is responsible for bringing us new products, delivering breakthrough insights, and making our lives more convenient.


Want to Learn Quantum Machine Learning? Here's How!

#artificialintelligence

Quantum machine learning is the fusion of quantum computing and artificial intelligence that will alter the future. It's an area dedicated to developing quantum algorithms for machine learning tasks. In the coming years, quantum machine learning is expected to be a possible application of quantum computers. Many quantum machine learning algorithms have been suggested to help quantum computers accelerate classical machine learning. Deep learning, on the other hand, has proven to be extremely effective in solving real-world problems.

Classifying Math KCs via Task-Adaptive Pre-Trained BERT

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Educational content labeled with proper knowledge components (KCs) are particularly useful to teachers or content organizers. However, manually labeling educational content is labor intensive and error-prone. To address this challenge, prior research proposed machine learning based solutions to auto-label educational content with limited success. In this work, we significantly improve prior research by (1) expanding the input types to include KC descriptions, instructional video titles, and problem descriptions (i.e., three types of prediction task), (2) doubling the granularity of the prediction from 198 to 385 KC labels (i.e., more practical setting but much harder multinomial classification problem), (3) improving the prediction accuracies by 0.5-2.3% using Task-adaptive Pre-trained BERT, outperforming six baselines, and (4) proposing a simple evaluation measure by which we can recover 56-73% of mispredicted KC labels. All codes and data sets in the experiments are available at: https://github.com/tbs17/TAPT-BERT


Introducing Artificial Intelligence Training in Medical Education

#artificialintelligence

Global health care expenditure has been projected to grow from US $7.7 trillion in 2017 to US $10 trillion in 2022 at a rate of 5.4% [1]. This translates into health care being an average of 9% of gross domestic product among developed countries [2,3]. Some key global trends that have led to this include tax reform and policy changes in the United States that could impact the expansion of health care access and affordability (Affordable Care Act) [4], implications on the United Kingdom's health care spend based on the decision to leave the European Union [5], population growth and rise in wealth in both China and India [6-8], implementation of socioeconomic policy reform for health care in Russia [9], attempts to make universal health care effective in Argentina [10], massive push for electronic health and telemedicine in Africa [11], and the impact of an unprecedented pace of population aging around the world [12]. From clinicians' perspective there are many important trends that are affecting the way they deliver care of which the growth in medical information is alarming. It took 50 years for medical information to double in 1950. In 1980, it took 7 years. In 2010, it was 3.5 years and is now projected to double in 73 days by 2020 [13].


How To Get Started With Machine Learning: A Tutorial For Beginners By A Beginner

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning and AI as a whole can seem hugely daunting when you're first getting started. Over a weekend, I painstakingly sifted through all of the "beginner" guides on how to get started, so that you don't have to. Most people recommend an image classifier using the MNIST dataset as your'hello world'/first machine learning program - I'm not sure if there is just an obscenely high barrier to entry, or if I'm simply just stupid, but for someone who wants to go from zero to something in the world of machine learning, this project seems a bit tricky. Now, of course, I attempted it. I read anything and everything that I could get my hands on about the inner workings of how neural networks ACTUALLY work. I thought I had a pretty rudimentary understanding of what was going on, but with pre-made datasets and perplexing technical jargon, it's often hard to dilute what is actually happening - I'm still not entirely sure what the f*ck a 2D convolutional layer is.


How AI Is Infiltrating Higher Education

#artificialintelligence

Students newly accepted by colleges and universities this spring are being deluged by emails and texts in the hope that they will put down their deposits and enroll. If they have questions about deadlines, financial aid, and even where to eat on campus, they can get instant answers. The messages are friendly and informative. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is being used to shoot off these seemingly personal appeals and deliver pre-written information through chatbots and text personas meant to mimic human banter. It can help a university or college by boosting early deposit rates while cutting down on expensive and time-consuming calls to stretched admissions staffs.
