In Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, there are over 5 million children with some form of disability. With the right support, many of these can thrive in mainstream education. As a result, up to 75 percent of these children are excluded from quality education. The situation is made even more difficult when resources are stretched to begin with. In Romania, a country which has the second highest teacher-to-student ratio in Europe, it can be difficult for children with disabilities to get the specific support they need to thrive, whether that's in or out of the classroom.

Lavanya Akella, a PGP student from INSOFE walks us through her journey of learning and experiencing a real-time development in her career. The intense course on'combination of programming and mathematics' is highlighted as intriguing, and one of the reasons why she chose INSOFE. She claimed'Machine Learning' as the most interesting module throughout the course. We are Applied Engineering International School of Engineering (INSOFE) offers novel executive education programs in Data Science/Analytics. INSOFE is the only institute in India that is certified by the prestigious Language Technologies Institute (LTI) of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), USA for the pedagogy, content, and assessment.

Tomorrow – October 23, 2019 – the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is offering a webinar entitled, "Are There Finally Real Use Cases for AI?" In the last few years, a number of companies have come on the scene to tout new or better artificial intelligence (AI) technology and propose new ways of using AI in scholarly communications. This webinar will cover real world use cases of publishers and AI technology, exploring what's working and what, if anything, one should be aware of when considering an implementation. The SSP webinar program delivers a series of highly informative, thought-provoking webinars designed to challenge and stimulate discussion. Covering timely topics and offered regularly throughout the year, our one-hour webinars remain available within the library archive on SSP's website.

IT firm Hexagon to introduce the nuts and bolts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to school students from Class 8. The AI Community Centre, which will offer free courses, to come up in Hyderabad early next year. Stockholm (Sweden)-based Hexagon, a sensor, software and autonomous solutions, has tied up the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) to establish the AI Community Centre. "The school is open to all. It will run introductory courses in AI for students from Class 8 to senior level, which include engineering students," Navaneet Mishra, vice-president and Country Manager of Hexagon Capability Center India (HCCI), said.

Each summer, high school students are seen in labs across the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) as part of the STEM@GTRI summer internship program. These students have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, gaining real-world, hands-on experience from experts currently developing the next personalized technology. Senior Research Scientist Jeff Hurley and Principal Research Engineer Reggie Ratcliff, both housed in the Electronic Systems (ELSYS) Laboratory, hosted four high school students for GTRI's summer program.

The capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced the launch of the world's first university dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, in a bid to stay ahead of the disruptive technologies and diversify its economy from the reliance on oil. Named after the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and de facto leader of the UAE who has long championed science and technology development in UAE, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) will offer academic post-graduate (MSc and PhD) courses in three key fields of AI – computer vision, machine learning and natural language processing – with access to some of the world's most advanced AI systems to unleash its full potentials. All graduate-level students admitted to the school will be eligible for a full scholarship along with several benefits such as a monthly allowance, accommodation arrangements and health insurance. The first class of graduate students is scheduled to start coursework at MBZUAI campus in Masdar City, a new urban area in Abu Dhabi, in September 2020. "MBZUAI aligns with the vision of the UAE leadership that is based on sustainable development, progress and the overall well-being of humanity and underpinned by capacity-building and active participation in finding practical solutions based on innovation and state-of-the-art technology," said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State, who also served as Chair of the university's Board of Trustees, at the press conference in Abu Dhabi.

In the fall of 2017, Sam Bowman, a computational linguist at New York University, figured that computers still weren't very good at understanding the written word. Sure, they had become decent at simulating that understanding in certain narrow domains, like automatic translation or sentiment analysis (for example, determining if a sentence sounds "mean or nice," he said). But Bowman wanted measurable evidence of the genuine article: bona fide, human-style reading comprehension in English. So he came up with a test. In an April 2018 paper coauthored with collaborators from the University of Washington and DeepMind, the Google-owned artificial intelligence company, Bowman introduced a battery of nine reading-comprehension tasks for computers called GLUE (General Language Understanding Evaluation). The test was designed as "a fairly representative sample of what the research community thought were interesting challenges," said Bowman, but also "pretty straightforward for humans." For example, one task asks whether a sentence is true based on information offered in a preceding sentence.
