For our course project, we aim to reverse the roles of the computer and human, such that the computer will act as an answerer and a human as a questioner. In the past, no such study has been conducted as this problem presented sophisticated challenges of Natural Language Inference and Textual Entailment. However, with the advent of transformer-based machine learning techniques such as BERT [1], RoBERTa [2], GPT-2 [3], and datasets such as BoolQ [4], such a model can be constructed. As this problem has not been formally defined, our goal is to formalize it and present preliminary results regarding the same. Furthermore, while there are several pre-trained question-answering models that select the start and end points of a corpus containing an answer, a simple yes/no answering task is surprisingly challenging and complex. A model for such a task would have to examine entailment as well as investigate if the corpus makes a positive answer to the question unlikely, even if it doesn't directly state a negative answer [4]. Our reverse Akinator model could be used for any sort of factual checker to examine whether a statement is true or not, given a knowledge corpus.

If you have ever played online with Akinator the incredible diviner, you already know what decision trees are all about. Let us reproduce a live game scenario of me versus Akinator. I will be thinking of a fictional character and he will try to guess it. Since I am huge fan of The Office, I will be thinking of Michael Scott. So here come the questions: Akinator Is your character a real person?

Each day, we read more news about artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and their uses for not only work but, more importantly, education. About a year ago, I started to research these areas. While I understood the concepts of both and could offer a decent definition, I was not able to easily identify what it might look like in today's classrooms. My first interaction with machine learning came some years ago when I worked on my Spanish translation coursework. Our focus was on the level of accuracy that ML-translation provided for students and for businesses looking to use these services.

Coming soon to Alexa speakers, X2 Games and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell will introduce'St. If you own an Amazon Echo, Google Home or other "smart speaker," you're likely aware you can use your voice to play music, order a product, and control your smart home gadgets. But you might not know you can also use your voice to play games, whether you're home alone or with family or friends. "There has never been a more natural way to communicate with technology than using your voice," says Katherine Prescott, founder and editor of VoiceBrew, a digital media company dedicated to helping people get the most out of Alexa, with articles, blog posts, and email newsletters.
