A One-Day Workshop on the Future of AI Education
A One-Day Workshop on the Future of AI Education
COVID-19 has brought upon us the inevitable transformation towards virtual education. The ensuing need for scalable, personalized learning systems has led to an unprecedented demand for understanding large-scale educational data. In this workshop, we invited AIEd enthusiasts from all around the world through three different channels. First, we called for papers related to important AIEd topics that can help us imagine what new education will look like. Second, we proposed various AIEd shared tasks using the largest public education dataset, EdNet, which contains 123M interactions from 1M+ students. Finally, we hosted a global challenge on Kaggle for a fair comparison of state-of-the-art Knowledge Tracing models and invited technical reports from winning teams. Through these initiatives, we aim to provide a common ground for researchers to share their cutting-edge insights on AIEd and encourage the development of practical and large-scale AIEd methods of lasting impact.
