Press Release
Updates to Azure Arc-enabled Machine Learning
Azure Machine Learning (AML) team is excited to announce the availability of Azure Arc-enabled Machine Learning (ML) public preview release. All customers of Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes now can deploy AzureML extension release and bring AML to, and the edge using Kubernetes on their hardware of choice. The design for Azure Arc-enabled ML helps IT Operators leverage native Kubernetes concepts such as namespace, node selector, and resources requests/limits for ML compute utilization and optimization. By letting the IT operator manage ML compute setup, Azure Arc-enabled ML creates a seamless AML experience for data scientists who do not need to learn or use Kubernetes directly. Data scientists now can focus on models and work with tools such as Azure Machine Learning AML Studio, AML 2.0 CLI, AML Python SDK, productivity tools like Jupyter notebook, and ML frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
Machine learning enhances non-verbal communication in online classrooms
June 21, 2021--Researchers in the Center for Research on Entertainment and Learning (CREL) at the University of California San Diego have developed a system to analyze and track eye movements to enhance teaching in tomorrow's virtual classrooms – and perhaps future virtual concert halls. UC San Diego music and computer science professor Shlomo Dubnov, an expert in computer music who directs the Qualcomm Institute-based CREL, began developing the new tool to deal with a downside of teaching music over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. "In a music classroom, non-verbal communication such as facial affect and body gestures is critical to keep students on task, coordinate musical flow and communicate improvisational ideas," said Dubnov. "Unfortunately, this non-verbal aspect of teaching and learning is dramatically hampered in the virtual classroom where you don't inhabit the same physical space." To overcome the problem, Dubnov and Ph.D. student Ross Greer recently published a conference paper on a system that uses eye tracking and machine learning to allow an educator to make'eye contact' with individual students or performers in disparate locations – and lets each student know when he or she is the focus of the teacher's attention.
