Deep learning-based assessment of student engagement could aid classroom research

Deep learning-based assessment of student engagement could aid classroom research

Past research has identified student engagement, or the extent to which students participate and are involved in classroom activities, as a crucial factor determining both the quality of education programs and the academic performance of individual students. As a result, many educators worldwide are actively trying to devise courses that maximize student engagement.

What You Need For Your Quantum Computing Pilots In 2021

What You Need For Your Quantum Computing Pilots In 2021

Quantum computing (QC) proof of concept (POC) projects abound in 2021 with commercialization already happening in pilots and building to broader adoption before 2025. This is in sharp contrast to 2015 where the forecasts were 20 years out or more to have practical applications in use and providing real benefits beyond digital computing.

How Artificial Intelligence Can Power Climate Change Strategy

Slowing down climate change is an urgent matter. If we fail, our world will face a more extensive crisis than we experienced because of the global COVID-19 pandemic. When artificial intelligence (AI) technology helps solve a problem, problem-solving can be done quicker, and the solution is often one that would have taken longer for humans to discover.

New AI tool can predict in seconds what a movie will be rated

Movie ratings can determine a movie’s appeal to consumers and the size of its potential audience. Thus, they have an impact on a film’s bottom line. Typically, humans do the tedious task of manually rating a movie based on viewing the movie and making decisions on the presence of violence, drug abuse and sexual content.

Building machines that better understand human goals

In a classic experiment on human social intelligence by psychologists Felix Warneken and Michael Tomasello, an 18-month old toddler watches a man carry a stack of books towards an unopened cabinet. When the man reaches the cabinet, he clumsily bangs the books against the door of the cabinet several times, then makes a puzzled noise.

The Monopoly On Technology And How To Defeat It

The Monopoly On Technology And How To Defeat It

The world of AI has been shaken by Google’s dismissal of AI Ethicist Dr Timnit Gebru last week. This behaviour is emblematic of the self-centred attitudes of major tech companies which also results in lack of commitment to democratisation of technology. With Facebook, Amazon and Apple also into the spotlight for allegedly creating a monopoly, the time has come for SMEs to re-revaluate their AI providers.
