Riiid Labs, the global arm of AI-education company Riiid, today announced the launch of the first-ever global Artificial Intelligence Education (AIEd) Challenge. This has been created to accelerate innovation in education by building a better and more equitable learning model for students around the world. Riiid labs: Global AIEd Challenge “AIEd today is just starting and it requires a practical approach to improve the quality of personalized remote learning,” said YJ Jang, founder and CEO of Riiid. “The best approach starts by engaging with the world’s best machine learning and deep learning researchers in the AIEd field. By putting AI-powered learning solutions to work for all students, we aim to create a new model for education that is easily accessible, personal, and individualized to meet the needs of any student at any level in school. We developed the AIEd Challenge to bring together the best minds in the world to help us all solve these challenges together.” By giving access to leading researchers and scientists to the world’s largest hierarchical education dataset – EdNet, comprised of more than 130 million interactions between more than 780,000 students from Riiid’s AI tutor solution. The goal is to attract, encourage, and reward the kind of innovation in AI education that ImageNet did in computer vision. Designed as a Kaggle algorithm competition – with $100,000 awarded to the winners – the challenge to scientists and researchers is to create algorithms for “Knowledge Tracing,” the modeling of student knowledge over time. The goal is to accurately predict how students will perform on future interactions. Each contestant will apply their machine learning skills to the task using Riiid’s EdNet data. Winning models will be presented at AAAI 2021 workshop in February next year. The Riiid AIEd Challenge opens today. Instructions on how to participate can be found at this The Riiid AIEd Challenge is committed to two major guiding principles: It aims to achieve the highest levels of technical transparency. Education is a field that demands the highest standards of all of us. Everyone in education benefits from greater due diligence by all major stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and students. Second, the Riiid AIEd Challenge pledges absolute commitment to diversity and inclusion. It is important, now more than ever, to create a level playing field for youth from every quarter and at all economic strata to benefit from educational opportunities. “As the first step in realizing our vision, we will ask winners of the competition to submit reports on the most successful algorithms, which will include a transparent explanation of their models and how this research can be used to enhance transparency in AI Education,” said Jim Larimore, Chief Officer for Equity in Learning and Challenge Chair who recently joined Riiid Labs, after recent education policy leadership roles at ACT and the Gates Foundation. He stated: “We are constantly seeking for ways to translate our guiding principles into concrete actions that benefit all students anywhere in the world.” Global education is facing unprecedented challenges with Covid 19 pandemic. It is undeniable that the world needs a new paradigm in education. Artificial intelligence can play a transformative role in improving learning by helping teachers personalize the learning experiences of their students, reducing the time teachers must spend on repetitive tasks, and making personalized learning resources available to students 24/7, regardless of whether school is open or not. “The possibilities leveraging AI in varying degrees are infinite in every facet across the entire spectrum of education,” said Paul Kim, Chief Technology Officer and Assistant Dean of the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University and Challenge academic advisor. “The Riiid AIEd Challenge will provide an opportunity for participants to carefully design AI tha...

Cheryl’s biggest passion as a teacher is ‘Brain-based’ learning, actively engaging the whole child and bringing technology to the primary music classroom, in a meaningful and fun way.

Though the dish may seem strange, it was favourite of Leoš Janáček from childhood. He recounted his preparation for beer soup in a letter to his fiancée, Zdenka Schulzova: “I did make a beer soup for myself the other day. Cooked the beer, beat one egg very foamy, threw in eight sugar cubes, and as the beer was cooking, poured in this egg batter. My God! From the first swallow I had a flashback of my mother and her beer soup.”Quote “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything” - PlatoUseful Links:Chery’s website Mrs B Music Room - https://mrsbmusicroom.comCheryl Burgemeister on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-burgemeister-972a35129/ Music EdNet - http://www.musicednet.com/Home.aspx Audacity - https://www.audacityteam.org/ Google Classroom - https://classroom.google.com/ Teachers Pay Teachers - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/ BandLab - https://www.bandlab.com/Bushfire Press - https://www.bushfirepress.com Bushfire Press Facebook Community (for discussions and info) - https://www.facebook.com/bushfirepress.community/ Mark Leehy Email -
