AI-Powered Education for a Better Tomorrow

#artificialintelligence

There was a time when Artificial Intelligence (AI) was often portrayed as robots. Machines that exhibited human-like characteristics (learning and decision making) with an artificial brain. Today, AI encompasses anything and everything. Be it vehicles, entertainment, corporations, smart homes, google search algorithms, education, law, or medical services, AI has transformed all the sectors for the better. Until today, artificial intelligence has outperformed humans in specific tasks. The worldwide AI market is expected to grow by $120 billion by the end of 2025.


Importance of Bias in Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Hi! I am working on a CNN project and I have some confusions. I didn't understand the importance of using bias during training a model. What are the effects of bias usage? And if we don't use bias what are the challenges that we are going to face with?


Questionnaire Design and Data Analysis with SPSS and AMOS

#artificialintelligence

This course is to introduce how to design a questionnaire and analyze the data based on survey methods. Different methods regarding linear regression are introduced in this section, such as simple and multiple linear regression, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), reliability test, as well as results interpretation. The principles of structural equation modeling (SEM) methods are introduced in this section, such as measurement and structural models, path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), model modification, etc. The operation procedures are also shown by using IBM Amos. As an introductory course for questionnaire design and data analysis, this course mainly focuses on the applications of different analysis techniques.


Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis in Education Domain

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Analysis of a large amount of data has always brought value to institutions and organizations. Lately, people's opinions expressed through text have become a very important aspect of this analysis. In response to this challenge, a natural language processing technique known as Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) has emerged. Having the ability to extract the polarity for each aspect of opinions separately, ABSA has found itself useful in a wide range of domains. Education is one of the domains in which ABSA can be successfully utilized. Being able to understand and find out what students like and don't like most about a course, professor, or teaching methodology can be of great importance for the respective institutions. While this task represents a unique NLP challenge, many studies have proposed different approaches to tackle the problem. In this work, we present a comprehensive review of the existing work in ABSA with a focus in the education domain. A wide range of methodologies are discussed and conclusions are drawn.


These educators show what it takes to be named 'teacher of the year' amid a pandemic

Los Angeles Times

Rhiannon Chavez has always been an animated teacher, and her fourth-grade classroom is her theater. She sings, dances and gesticulates during her lessons, engaging her 23 students at 186th Street Elementary School in Gardena. But distance learning has elevated these tactics to a whole new level. Now, as she teaches into a computer screen from her home in San Pedro, she pours every last bit of energy into making sure that her enthusiasm is infectious enough to span the digital divide. From one of her three computer monitors screens she leads the children in a song about rounding numbers, her hand movements and facial expressions are bigger and more spirited than ever.

The Online Courses You Must Take to be a Better Data Scientist - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

I started in Data Science back in 2015. It was not an intended move but the answer to the needs of my employer. I was working for a company providing automation services to Spanish corporations and we had the need to leverage data to automate complex tasks whose rules could not be easily hard-coded. I had recently graduated as an engineer in the middle of a terrible economic crisis, had some statistical modeling knowledge and was proficient using MATLAB. In 2015 there was not specialized Data Science degrees or boot-camps to jump-start in the field (at least, in Spain) and the naturally closest studies you could have were, in this order: Mathematics (in Spain with a strong focus in becoming a teacher/professor in the public education system) or Software Engineer (most of them more interested in App Development or creating the new Uber of "X" than in boring Data Science stuff back then).


One farmer finds answer to ESL students' virtual learning struggles

FOX News

For non-native speaking English students, trying to get good grades while learning a new language can be challenging at the best of times, but as classes turn virtual some students are being left behind. BUCKEYE, Az. -- Virtual classrooms are the new normal for many students, but for non-native speaking English students, trying to get good grades can be challenging in the best of times. As classes turn virtual due to COVID-19, some students are being left behind. Valeria Gonzalez, 11, told Fox News that her school in Buckeye, Az., doesn't offer a virtual English as a second language (ESL) program. All of her classes are taught by an English speaking teacher with no Spanish translation.
