Fair Classification via Transformer Neural Networks: Case Study of an Educational Domain
Educational technologies nowadays increasingly use data and Machine Learning (ML) models. This gives the students, instructors, and administrators support and insights for the optimum policy. However, it is well acknowledged that ML models are subject to bias, which raises concerns about the fairness, bias, and discrimination of using these automated ML algorithms in education and its unintended and unforeseen negative consequences. The contribution of bias during the decision-making comes from datasets used for training ML models and the model architecture. This paper presents a preliminary investigation of the fairness of transformer neural networks on the two tabular datasets: Law School and Student-Mathematics. In contrast to classical ML models, the transformer-based models transform these tabular datasets into a richer representation while solving the classification task. We use different fairness metrics for evaluation and check the trade-off between fairness and accuracy of the transformer-based models over the tabular datasets. Empirically, our approach shows impressive results regarding the trade-off between fairness and performance on the Law School dataset.

This paper reports on progress towards building an online language learning tool to provide learners with conversational experience by using dialog systems as conversation practice partners. Our system can adapt to users' language proficiency on the fly. We also provide automatic grammar error feedback to help users learn from their mistakes. According to our first adopters, our system is entertaining and useful. Furthermore, we will provide the learning technology community a large-scale conversation dataset on language learning and grammar correction. Our next step is to make our system more adaptive to user profile information by using reinforcement learning algorithms.

TUM succeeds in program for young Artificial Intelligence talents
In the future the "Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable Artificial Intelligence", where TUM is represented by Prof. Stephan Gรผnnemann, will address the foundations of reliable of Artificial Intelligence, its utilization in critical application areas and the resulting societal implications. Research and teaching takes place in close partnership with LMU and in particular Prof. Gitta Kutyniok as co-director of the School. The network also includes international AI centers, non-university research organizations and over 15 industrial partners. Prof. Gรผnnemann said: "We are opening up excellent career paths to talented young researchers from around the world. They can use the program to establish themselves in the academic world or to put the topic of Artificial Intelligence into industrial application. Here reliable Artificial Intelligence plays a prominent role, especially for Germany as a location for innovation which will profit greatly from the creativity and expertise of the talented young people being educated."
Myths About Remote Proctoring
Proctoring an exam remotely using state-of-the-art technology may be a good idea amid the Covid-19 health emergency. Remote proctoring is the need of the hour, but it doesn't go well with a lot of people. There are misconceptions about the potency of remote proctoring. Some think it can prevent cheating during online exams and protects the integrity of the test. Others say it is a myth that remote proctoring works, which is not true.
Why Computer Science Classes Should Double Down on AI and Data Science
If you're not in the know, artificial intelligence and data science may sound like especially nerdy subsets of the already pocket-protector infused field of computer science. But anyone who is serious about expanding computer science education--a list that includes Fortune 500 company CEOs and policymakers on both sides of the aisle --should be thinking carefully about emphasizing AI, in which machines are trained to perform tasks that simulate some of what the human brain can do, and data science, in which students learn to record, store, and analyze data. That means making sure kids have access to well-designed resources to learn those subjects, bolstering professional development for those who teach them, exposing career counselors to information about how to help students pursue jobs in those fields, and much more. That imperative is at the heart of a list of recommendations by CSforALL, an education advocacy group presented last month at the International Society for Technology in Education's annual conference. Leigh Ann DeLyser, CSforALL's co-founder and executive director, spoke with Education Week about some big picture ideas around the push for a greater focus on AI and data science within computer science education.
