After artificial intelligence defeated human beings many times in the Go game, artificial intelligence began to "challenge" human beings in the college entrance examination.
After the entrance examination of 20 17 in mathematics, Aidam, a robot developed by Beijing Xuebajun Company, completed the entrance examination in 9 minutes and 47 seconds with a score of 134. At the same time, AI-Maths, a college entrance examination robot developed by a technology company in Chengdu, completed the Beijing liberal arts mathematics paper in 22 minutes, with a score of 105. Later, it took 10 minutes to challenge the second volume of national mathematics, and got 100 points.
It is understood that the "college entrance examination answering robot" AI-Maths was launched a few years ago, and many domestic scientific research units and enterprises participated in it, gathering a group of outstanding talents in domestic artificial intelligence research.
Similarly, before going to the examination room, the robot Aidam also experienced some "hard training". Technicians have done photo search applications for robots, and 70 million questions have accumulated in the background. Aidam trains 300,000 to 500,000 questions every day in order to take the math college entrance examination.
"The college entrance examination robot is a pivotal point of artificial intelligence in the field of education, involving natural language recognition, image recognition, logical reasoning, symbol processing and other technologies." Zhang, the developer of Aidam and the founder of Xuebajun, said that once the technology is mature, it will be possible to use robots for topic evaluation, personalized guidance, student management, home-school communication and teaching plan improvement. At the same time, if the robot has two abilities of automatic problem solving and handwriting recognition, it is not far away to automatically correct homework.
Zhang's description is a scene after artificial intelligence deeply affects the field of education.
This scene has been partially confirmed in Baidu's artificial intelligence planning.
Similarly, before and after the 20 17 college entrance examination, Baidu Education launched a number of products that applied artificial intelligence to the education industry scene. For example, "AR knowledge point analysis", in the teaching process, when students scan a two-dimensional picture in the textbook, a clear three-dimensional organization chart will be presented on the mobile phone. For example, the textbook is a plan of the human body structure. After scanning, students can see the three-dimensional human body structure. Clicking on any human body part will have a voice to explain its name and function, and sliding the screen can also rotate the human body 360 degrees. At the same time, the concept of "knowledge map" based on big data mining has also been applied to the teaching process. Based on data analysis, other related knowledge points can be found through one knowledge point and sorted out, so that the original scattered, disorderly and massive information can be turned into aggregated and structured knowledge, giving students a clear knowledge context.
Although the discussion about artificial intelligence has been heated for a long time, the discussion about the influence of artificial intelligence on education, teaching and even examination evaluation is endless. However, where are the advantages of artificial intelligence, and to what extent can it affect and change the educational ecology?
Not long ago, at the summit forum on "Artificial Intelligence and Future Education" sponsored by East China Normal University and China Education Thirty Forum, some experts said that any repetitive demand and a large amount of data accumulation can be replaced by artificial intelligence, that is, the recording and analysis of massive data and "tireless" work are things that artificial intelligence is good at.
At the same time, with the recording and accumulation of high-quality data in the future education process, it will also bring more profound improvement in teaching methods and changes in educational evaluation technology. Previously, the ape tutor released "Intelligent Correction of English Composition". Students take photos of their handwritten English compositions with their mobile phones and upload them. The system can automatically identify them, mark grammar, words and other errors and key points one by one, and finally display the composition scores, thus freeing up more time and energy for teachers to engage in teaching. Some schools in Minhang District of Shanghai are also experimenting with the "integrated system of recording, broadcasting, evaluation and training", that is, analyzing the data of the whole course through video, including the rate of students raising their hands, the rate of raising their heads and the behavior of teachers, so as to improve teaching in a targeted manner.
"However, in the field of education, artificial intelligence is destined to play an auxiliary role and will not replace human beings." As Zhang Gao, general manager of Baidu Education Division, said, people are the main body of education and teaching, and the essence of education is to help people learn and improve. The application of artificial intelligence in education should be how to better serve people and improve the efficiency of education and learning, rather than replacing people.
People are irreplaceable.
