Company Launches AI Chatbot Designed For K-12 School Districts

#artificialintelligence

Based just outside of Washington D.C., K12 Insight have launched an artificial intelligence-based ... [ ] chatbot which can answer the questions of students and parents. Ed-tech company K12 Insight has launched Let's Talk! Assistant, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot designed to help schools maintain 24/7 communication with students, parents, and other school stakeholders. Let's Talk! Assistant will be accessible via widgets on any participating school district's website. K12 Insight claims it will allow parents, pupils and others to ask questions regarding school events and administration at any time of the day and on any day of the week. The chatbot will also let individuals submit more complicated questions to teachers and school administrators whenever it can't answer these itself.


AI-powered Language Apps are the Natural Evolution of E-learning

#artificialintelligence

Distance learning and remote teaching have increased reliance on tech making it a reality, and able to traverse borders with less regard for physical geo-locations. There are numerous restrictions that prevent online learning from being ubiquitous such as internet accessibility, access to learning platforms, adequate attention for learners individually, and language barriers. Video-based learning could be enough for urban pupils, but for rural areas, connectivity becomes low, less reliable, and interrupted lessons. For international students, pursuing higher education or probably taking vocational courses, a lack in fluency in English or any other intermediary languages can play a significant role in limiting proper online learning. Learning a new language is the objective for work or to further studies, but the bigger question is how technology can bridge the language learning divide.

Recession and automation reshapes future of work, but jobs coming - WEF

#artificialintelligence

Research by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found that COVID-19 has caused the labour market to change faster than expected, and that by 2025, automation and a new division of labour between humans and machines will disrupt 85 million jobs globally spanning 15 industry sectors and 26 economies. The Future of Jobs 2020 report also found that roles in areas such as data entry, accounting and administrative support are decreasing in demand as automation and digitization in the workplace increases. "More than 80% of business executives are accelerating plans to digitize work processes and deploy new technologies; and 50% of employers are expecting to accelerate the automation of some roles in their companies." "COVID-19 has accelerated the arrival of the future of work," said Saadia Zahidi, Manging Director at the WEF. "It's a double disruption scenario that presents another hurdle for workers in this difficult time. The window of opportunity for proactive management of this change is closing fast. Businesses, governments and workers must plan to urgently work together to implement a new vision for the global workforce."


More colleges could offer engineering courses in emerging fields like robotics, AI from 2021

#artificialintelligence

New Delhi: Engineering colleges under the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will soon be able to offer courses in emerging fields -- artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and others -- from the academic year 2021-22. The council has sought a list of the new courses from institutions that were already offering them from 2020-21, and will add them to the AICTE's approval handbook from next year. Once done, the new curriculum will become official, enabling more colleges to offer the courses to students. The idea is to make students employment-ready in line with the new National Education Policy. Making the announcement in a circular dated 29 October, the AICTE said, "lt is seen that during the approval process 2020-21, many institutions have made use of this opportunity for introduction of new courses in the emerging disciplines approved by the council. We all understand that the introduction of more number of new courses in emerging areas or Interdisciplinary Courses would help the student community in their goal of employability or entrepreneurship and this is also stated in the new National Education Policy 2020."

On Optimality of Meta-Learning in Fixed-Design Regression with Weighted Biased Regularization

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We consider a fixed-design linear regression in the meta-learning model of Baxter (2000) and establish a problem-dependent finite-sample lower bound on the transfer risk (risk on a newly observed task) valid for all estimators. Moreover, we prove that a weighted form of a biased regularization - a popular technique in transfer and meta-learning - is optimal, i.e. it enjoys a problem-dependent upper bound on the risk matching our lower bound up to a constant. Thus, our bounds characterize meta-learning linear regression problems and reveal a fine-grained dependency on the task structure. Our characterization suggests that in the non-asymptotic regime, for a sufficiently large number of tasks, meta-learning can be considerably superior to a single-task learning. Finally, we propose a practical adaptation of the optimal estimator through Expectation-Maximization procedure and show its effectiveness in series of experiments.


Few-Shot Unsupervised Continual Learning through Meta-Examples

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In real-world applications, data do not reflect the ones commonly used for neural networks training, since they are usually few, unlabeled and can be available as a stream. Hence many existing deep learning solutions suffer from a limited range of applications, in particular in the case of online streaming data that evolve over time. To narrow this gap, in this work we introduce a novel and complex setting involving unsupervised meta-continual learning with unbalanced tasks. These tasks are built through a clustering procedure applied to a fitted embedding space. We exploit a meta-learning scheme that simultaneously alleviates catastrophic forgetting and favors the generalization to new tasks. Moreover, to encourage feature reuse during the meta-optimization, we exploit a single inner loop taking advantage of an aggregated representation achieved through the use of a self-attention mechanism. Experimental results on few-shot learning benchmarks show competitive performance even compared to the supervised case. Additionally, we empirically observe that in an unsupervised scenario, the small tasks and the variability in the clusters pooling play a crucial role in the generalization capability of the network. Further, on complex datasets, the exploitation of more clusters than the true number of classes leads to higher results, even compared to the ones obtained with full supervision, suggesting that a predefined partitioning into classes can miss relevant structural information.
