Why online learning needs AI augmentation

With a large portion of schools having moved to online based learning through platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, students are required to grasp concepts in a one-dimensional online medium as opposed to a constructive and collaborative class environment.

Being a student during the pandemic, I have first hand experience with the mundane manner of teaching- and why we need to augment this with Artificial Intelligence algorithms. In a classroom, teachers can somehow manage to personalise some parts of learning or pay attention to weak students. However, in an online medium, with all the latency issues and network constraints, also moving in a general pace can be tough.

Therefore for online learning,AI can be key, by providing a personalised learning path for the students. Using algorithms like NLP ( Natural Language Processing ), the online class can be transcribed according to the student's intellectual levels.

AI, in this case, can make a specific-tailored learning path for the students by recognising patterns in examinations, homework submission and teacher feedback. This data could be clustered and a supervised-learning algorithm ( AI mumbo-jumbo ) could predict the best course path for a student.

The software could also introduce "teacher-type" chatbots where students could ask these AI powered chatbots for doubts, explanations and course details. With recent development in tech such as Natural Language Generation and Intent Recognition, such a feature could be highly efficient and used to answer student queries around the clock.

With more schools getting added to the platforms, and more students shifting to an online learning atmosphere, AI can augment online education to levels where it could certainly prove to be a viable replacement for classroom-learning.

Impact of Chatbots on Human Driven sectors of business

Chatbots are Machine Learning and Deep Learning powered programs that can conduct meaningful conversations. Most of them use technical attributes like Natural Language Processing and Context Analysis to converse with a human or another chatbot. The bot is programmed to self-learn as it is introduced to supplementary dialogues and words. In consequence, as a chatbot receives new voice or textual dialogues, the number of inquiries that it can reply and the accuracy of each response it gives increases. A Chabot can converse with the user through self-embedded messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger or through various flagship Assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa. Nowadays, chatbots are being deployed in fields where their use clearly seemed to be obvious. Firms engaging in Financial Planning, Investment Management and Expense Tracking could reap a wide array of benefits when they make use of this technology. They can have a lasting impact on human-driven sec...

Making AI Play Games

The Artificial Intelligence era has started only a while ago and it is drastically augmenting and amplifying our lives But in this sphere of development, the developers have had a big problem to test their AI. This is where great minds like Elon Musk step in and create adroit and efficient resources to test the Intelligence that we create. His vision and aspiration led to the start of OpenAI, a free open source library and a company specializing in research. They create toolkits for Deep Learning developers like us to deploy models and make AI play games. This helps us to analyze the power of the intelligence by simulating game environments.  OpenAI provides enthusiasts with 2 toolkits to work with Gym - Toolkit for comparing and developing deep reinforcement learning algorithms... Universe - A collection of gym environments to train and measure an AI's general intelligence... Today we are going to write a simple script in python to help build a ...

I'm gonna be gone for a while ...

Hey Everyone, I'm sorry for keeping this blog dry for the 2 past two months, I'm a class 10 student in the CBSE Board here in India, so naturally, all my time is devoted to mundane academic preparation. This blog will not see another post till April, but before I sign off, I wanted to tell everyone my goals and plans for 2020:- Start a podcast ( most probably ), which will mainly revolve around economics, business and tech with some tidbits and updates from my life. Launch my first ever web-product called Nadia. It's already under development. Will share a snapshot of the UI :) I'm hoping to blog a lot more, hopefully, 3 posts a month Read at least 25-30 books Sketch a lot more :P Nadia in its nascent stages Will improve on this surely ...
