Conversational practice, while crucial for all language learners, can be challenging to get enough of and very expensive. Chatbots are computer programs developed to engage in conversations with humans. They are designed as software avatars with limited, but growing conversational capability. The most natural and potentially powerful application of chatbots is in line with their fundamental nature - language practice. However, their role and outcomes within (in)formal language learning are currently tangential at best. Existing research in the area has generally focused on chatbots' comprehensibility and the motivation they inspire in their users. In this paper, we provide an overview of the chatbots for learning languages, critically analyze existing approaches, and discuss the major challenges for future work.

Even if something technologically feasible does not mean it will be generally adopted. Innovation does not matter, more than to early adopters, if the new solution does not start from and adapt to human prerequisites. "Robots, AI and other technologies are very good at certain tasks, but this does not mean they can replace humans. My guess is, some jobs will be replaced, but for many others, AI and robots will help humans do their jobs better – and help us to live our lives more comfortably. We do what humans do best and robots help us with a growing range of tasks. In the meantime, lots of new jobs will be created too."

Machine Learning Models for Habitat Suitability - Implement and interpret common ML techniques to build habitat suitability maps for the birds of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a practical, hands-on course, i.e. we will spend some time dealing with some of the theoretical concepts . However, majority of the course will focus on implementing different techniques on real data and interpret the results. After each video you will learn a new concept or technique which you may apply to your own projects.

When working on a machine learning project, you need to follow a series of steps until you reach your goal. One of the steps you have to perform is hyperparameter optimization on your selected model. This task always comes after the model selection process where you choose the model that is performing better than other models. Before I define hyperparameter optimization, you need to understand what a hyperparameter is. In short, hyperparameters are different parameter values that are used to control the learning process and have a significant effect on the performance of machine learning models. An example of hyperparameters in the Random Forest algorithm is the number of estimators (n_estimators), maximum depth (max_depth), and criterion. These parameters are tunable and can directly affect how well a model trains. So then hyperparameter optimization is the process of finding the right combination of hyperparameter values to achieve maximum performance on the data in a reasonable amount of time.

The coronavirus pandemic is pushing more jobs to automation faster, but that doesn't mean more humans need be out of work. A McKinsey and Company study estimates half of American job tasks will be automated in five years, so diverse populations are needed to program and run artificial intelligence. "If you only have certain types of people and certain types of populations in forming that translation of the human mind in machine learning, you're only going to get a portion of what you need," said Darcy Renfro, chief workforce and economic development officer with Maricopa Community Colleges. Renfro and other Valley education leaders spoke in the live webinar "Future of Workforce," hosted by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council on Thursday. She also said advanced degrees are not always needed to program the computers and machines that think for us.

This article philosophically analyzes online exam supervision technologies, which have been thrust into the public spotlight due to campus lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing demand for online courses. Online exam proctoring technologies purport to provide effective oversight of students sitting online exams, using artificial intelligence (AI) systems and human invigilators to supplement and review those systems. Such technologies have alarmed some students who see them as `Big Brother-like', yet some universities defend their judicious use. Critical ethical appraisal of online proctoring technologies is overdue. This article philosophically analyzes these technologies, focusing on the ethical concepts of academic integrity, fairness, non-maleficence, transparency, privacy, respect for autonomy, liberty, and trust. Most of these concepts are prominent in the new field of AI ethics and all are relevant to the education context. The essay provides ethical considerations that educational institutions will need to carefully review before electing to deploy and govern specific online proctoring technologies.
