Proactive and Reactive Engagement of Artificial Intelligence Methods for Education: A Review
Mallik, Sruti, Gangopadhyay, Ahana
Quality education, one of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs) identified by the United Nations General Assembly, stands to benefit enormously from the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) driven tools and technologies. The concurrent boom of necessary infrastructure, digitized data and general social awareness has propelled massive research and development efforts in the artificial intelligence for education (AIEd) sector. In this review article, we investigate how artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning methods are being utilized to support students, educators and administrative staff. We do this through the lens of a novel categorization approach. We consider the involvement of AI-driven methods in the education process in its entirety - from students admissions, course scheduling etc. in the proactive planning phase to knowledge delivery, performance assessment etc. in the reactive execution phase. We outline and analyze the major research directions under proactive and reactive engagement of AI in education using a representative group of 194 original research articles published in the past two decades i.e., 2003 - 2022. We discuss the paradigm shifts in the solution approaches proposed, i.e., in the choice of data and algorithms used over this time. We further dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic challenged and reshaped the education landscape at the fag end of this time period. Finally, we pinpoint existing limitations in adopting artificial intelligence for education and reflect on the path forward.

A Review of the Trends and Challenges in Adopting Natural Language Processing Methods for Education Feedback Analysis
Shaik, Thanveer, Tao, Xiaohui, Li, Yan, Dann, Christopher, Mcdonald, Jacquie, Redmond, Petrea, Galligan, Linda
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a fast-growing area of study that stretching its presence to many business and research domains. Machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP) are subsets of AI to tackle different areas of data processing and modelling. This review article presents an overview of AI impact on education outlining with current opportunities. In the education domain, student feedback data is crucial to uncover the merits and demerits of existing services provided to students. AI can assist in identifying the areas of improvement in educational infrastructure, learning management systems, teaching practices and study environment. NLP techniques play a vital role in analyzing student feedback in textual format. This research focuses on existing NLP methodologies and applications that could be adapted to educational domain applications like sentiment annotations, entity annotations, text summarization, and topic modelling. Trends and challenges in adopting NLP in education were reviewed and explored. Contextbased challenges in NLP like sarcasm, domain-specific language, ambiguity, and aspect-based sentiment analysis are explained with existing methodologies to overcome them. Research community approaches to extract the semantic meaning of emoticons and special characters in feedback which conveys user opinion and challenges in adopting NLP in education are explored.

Program teaches US Air Force personnel the fundamentals of AI
A new academic program developed at MIT aims to teach U.S. Air and Space Forces personnel to understand and utilize artificial intelligence technologies. In a recent peer-reviewed study, the program researchers found that this approach was effective and well-received by employees with diverse backgrounds and professional roles. The project, which was funded by the Department of the Air ForceโMIT Artificial Intelligence Accelerator, seeks to contribute to AI educational research, specifically regarding ways to maximize learning outcomes at scale for people from a variety of educational backgrounds. Experts in MIT Open Learning built a curriculum for three general types of military personnel -- leaders, developers, and users -- utilizing existing MIT educational materials and resources. They also created new, more experimental courses that were targeted at Air and Space Forces leaders.
Online Learning for Adaptive Probing and Scheduling in Dense WLANs
Xu, Tianyi, Zhang, Ding, Zheng, Zizhan
Existing solutions to network scheduling typically assume that the instantaneous link rates are completely known before a scheduling decision is made or consider a bandit setting where the accurate link quality is discovered only after it has been used for data transmission. In practice, the decision maker can obtain (relatively accurate) channel information, e.g., through beamforming in mmWave networks, right before data transmission. However, frequent beamforming incurs a formidable overhead in densely deployed mmWave WLANs. In this paper, we consider the important problem of throughput optimization with joint link probing and scheduling. The problem is challenging even when the link rate distributions are pre-known (the offline setting) due to the necessity of balancing the information gains from probing and the cost of reducing the data transmission opportunity. We develop an approximation algorithm with guaranteed performance when the probing decision is non-adaptive, and a dynamic programming based solution for the more challenging adaptive setting. We further extend our solutions to the online setting with unknown link rate distributions and develop a contextual-bandit based algorithm and derive its regret bound. Numerical results using data traces collected from real-world mmWave deployments demonstrate the efficiency of our solutions.
AI based approach to Trailer Generation for Online Educational Courses
Mishra, Prakhar, Diwan, Chaitali, Srinivasa, Srinath, Srinivasaraghavan, G.
In this paper, we propose an AI based approach to Trailer Generation in the form of short videos for online educational courses. Trailers give an overview of the course to the learners and help them make an informed choice about the courses they want to learn. It also helps to generate curiosity and interest among the learners and encourages them to pursue a course. While it is possible to manually generate the trailers, it requires extensive human efforts and skills over a broad spectrum of design, span selection, video editing, domain knowledge, etc., thus making it time-consuming and expensive, especially in an academic setting. The framework we propose in this work is a template based method for video trailer generation, where most of the textual content of the trailer is auto-generated and the trailer video is automatically generated, by leveraging Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques. The proposed trailer is in the form of a timeline consisting of various fragments created by selecting, para-phrasing or generating content using various proposed techniques. The fragments are further enhanced by adding voice-over text, subtitles, animations, etc., to create a holistic experience. Finally, we perform user evaluation with 63 human evaluators for evaluating the trailers generated by our system and the results obtained were encouraging.
