5 IoT solutions for modifying school and college learning processes !!
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are all buzzwords which have moved out of tech circles and into the mainstream, and the education sector is being revolutionised by these new solutions to age-old learning challenges, says Aimee Laurence freelancer editor at Essayroo. The IoT in particular is facilitating whole-scale changes in the way that education is delivered, right at the heart of the matter too, in terms of learning processes. Here are 5 IoT solutions that are making their mark…. Communication Unsurprisingly, technological advances…
Read MoreArtificial Intelligence (AI) in education will help us understand how we think !!
Forget robot teachers, adaptive intelligent tutors and smart essay marking software — these are not the future of artificial intelligence in education but merely a step along the way. The real power that AI brings to education is connecting our learning intelligently to make us smarter in the way we understand ourselves, the world and how we teach and learn. For the first time we will be able to extend, develop and measure the complexity of human intelligence — an intellect that is more sophisticated than any AI. This will…
Read MoreLight bulb vibrations yield eavesdropping data !!
In an era of digital eavesdropping where hackers employ a variety of means to take over built-in video cameras, peruse personal digital data and snoop on cellular conversations, researchers have finally seen the light. Israeli researchers report that they successfully tapped into speech & music inside an apartment simply by focusing on a light bulb.In a paper published over the weekend, the researchers said all they needed were a telescope and a $400 optical sensor, which they used to measure barely perceptible light bulb vibrations triggered by either voices or…
Read MoreThe first intuitive programming language for quantum computers !!
Programming quantum computers is becoming easier: computer scientists at ETH Zurich have designed the first programming language that can be used to program quantum computers as simply, reliably and safely as classical computers. “Programming quantum computers is still a challenge for researchers,” says Martin Vechev, computer science professor in ETH’s Secure, Reliable and Intelligent Systems Lab (SRI), “which is why I’m so excited that we can now continue ETH Zurich’s tradition in the development of quantum computers and programming languages.” He adds, “Our quantum programming language Silq allows programmers to…
Read MoreAI reduces ‘communication gap’ for nonverbal people by as much as half !!
Researchers have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce the ‘communication gap’ for nonverbal people with motor disabilities who rely on computers to converse with others. The team, from the University of Cambridge and the University of Dundee, developed a new context-aware method that reduces this communication gap by eliminating between 50% & 96% of the keystrokes the person has to type to communicate. The system is specifically tailed for nonverbal people and uses a range of context ‘clues’—such as the user’s location, the time of day or the identity of…
Read MoreHow Machine Learning, A.I. Might Change Education !!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as computer vision and Machine Learning (ML) are providing new ways to revolutionize learning and skills training at universities. From doctorate degrees in Machine Learning (ML) to bots that aid the work of teachers, there’s accelerating intrerest at the college level in A.I. and ML. Research firm TechNavio projects that the AI, market in education will grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of close to 48% from 2018 to 2022 (the study also noted the role of chatbots in enhancing learning—hopefully that technology pans…
Read MoreArtificial Intelligence in Education landscape !!
Some of us may have heard about Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is a branch of computer science associated with the building of smart machines that can perform tasks that otherwise require human intelligence. AI endeavors to simulate human intelligence in machines so that they are able to think, perceive, learn, problem solve and even take decisions. Computer systems powered by deep learning and machine learning are able to carry out such tasks. This is achieved by bringing together thinking, perception and action using mathematical algorithms. In AI, each and every…
Read MoreUse of AI And VR In The Indian Education Sector !!
It’s not hot news that India has an intense lack of teachers at elementary, secondary and even at the more elevated levels of schools. As indicated by the numbers given by the Human Resource and Development (HRD) Ministry of India in 2016, there is a lack of 1 million educators across the nation. In Universities & Colleges, there is an endless deficiency of personnel and the issue of finding qualified individuals to fill this gap has turned out to be much more entangled. In such a situation, in what manner…
