Upstage-Ice Cream Edu Adopts 'Superpersonalized Education Ai' Paper At World'S Leading International Society
2022/02/08Upstage-Ice Cream Edu Proves AI Research Capability by Adopting Educational AI Papers at The Web Conference
POSSIBILITY OF REALIZING AI-BASED HYPER-PERSONALIZED LEARNING AS THE FIRST KNOWLEDGE TRACKING MODEL USING CONTRAST LEARNING AMONG DEEP LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES
FIRST RESEARCH USING CONTRAST LEARNING, SPOTLIGHTED AS A CORE TECHNOLOGY IN THE AI EDUCATION ERA THROUGH MASSIVE EDUCATIONAL DATA DUE TO CORONA
(Upstage=2022/2/8) Upstage, a leading AI startup in Korea, has achieved the achievement of being accepted for the first time at the world's top international conference on knowledge tracking using contrast learning.
Upstage (CEO Seong-Hoon Kim, www.upstage.ai ) published a thesis on the core technology of customized learning using deep learning technology at 'The Web Conference 2022' (hereinafter referred to as the web conference), the world's most prestigious international conference in the field of information technology on the 8th. said to have been adopted.
UPSTAGE'S RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED WITH 'ICE CREAM EDU', WHICH OPERATES AN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SMART LEARNING 'ICE CREAM HOME RUN'. 'ICE CREAM EDU' IS AN INNOVATIVE EDUTECH COMPANY THAT WAS SELECTED AS THE FIRST 'DX CERTIFIED' COMPANY AMONG EDUTECH COMPANIES IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR.
Since the 'Web Conference' was first held in 1994 under the name of 'World Wide Web Conference (WWW)', it has been recognized as a society where cutting-edge web-related research is shared for about 30 years. Along with NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, it is also the best international conference in computer science recognized by BK21 and the Korean Society of Information Sciences.
Every year, research in various fields such as machine learning, mathematics, data mining, and optimization is presented at web conferences. This is the first time Upstage has recorded the adoption of a paper in a 'web conference'.
UPSTAGE AND ICE CREAM EDU JOINTLY RESEARCHED TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN BE MORE WIDELY APPLIED TO AI-BASED NON-FACE-TO-FACE EDUCATION IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE 'KNOWLEDGE-TRACKING AI' MODEL FOR SUPER-PERSONALIZED LEARNING. 'KNOWLEDGE TRACKING AI', WHICH IS THE BASIS OF THE TECHNOLOGY, IS AN AI MODEL THAT CAN TRACK THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING BY USING THE STUDENT'S PAST LEARNING RECORDS AND IDENTIFY THE LEARNER'S CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND POINTS OF IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS ONE OF THE CORE TECHNOLOGIES OF EDUCATIONAL AI THAT ENABLES PERSONALIZED, HYPER-PERSONALIZED EDUCATION FOR EACH STUDENT.
In particular, this paper from both companies attracted attention as the first study that introduced contrast learning, a method of deep learning, to knowledge tracking. By using the characteristic of contrast learning, which learns a large amount of data and finds the main characteristics of the data itself, more effective results were derived than existing research methods that were unidirectional.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS PAPER USING CONTRAST LEARNING THAT CAN FIND USEFUL INFORMATION FROM THE UNIQUE PATTERN OF THE DATA ITSELF IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A MORE IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY IN AI EDUCATION NOW THAT IT HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA DUE TO VARIOUS NON-FACE-TO-FACE EDUCATION DUE TO CORONA. SEE.
The deep learning technology, which has proven its excellence through the thesis, is being applied to Ice Cream Edu's ice cream home run math service and is being demonstrated, and it will be used for more sophisticated incorrect answer prediction technology and vulnerability tracking. The technology application is expected to be expanded to other subjects besides mathematics within this year.
This year's web conference, where the thesis will be published, will be held as an online conference hosted by Lyon University, France, from April 25 to 29. Papers of Upstage and Ice Cream Edu are published in full on the research track.
Upstage CEO Seong-Hoon Kim said, “It is quite difficult for edutech papers to be accepted in conferences dealing with information technology in general. The fact that 'DKT (Deep Knowledge Tracing)', a deep learning technology of both companies, was adopted at this web conference, where only 17% of the submitted papers were accepted, means that it has reached the highest level in the world.”
In addition, “The knowledge tracing technology, which had been at a standstill for a while, has been raised to the world’s highest level through the advancement of deep learning. He also emphasized the importance of data quality.
Ice Cream Edu CEO Cho Yong-sang said, "Knowledge Tracing" is to track a student's current knowledge level based on various learning data. “Since each student has a different level of knowledge, the goal of adaptive learning is to provide learning based on this, so knowledge tracking is a key engine for hyper-personalization of each student.” showed confidence in
Upstage is a platform that can easily apply the latest AI technology to various industries based on proven AI technology leadership such as papers presented at this web conference, international AI conferences such as NeurlPS, AAAI, ACL, EMNLP, and securing Kaggle top developers. We have developed 'AI Pack' and are planning to launch it in the first half of this year.
Upstage, through 'AI Pack', helps customers to use the latest AI technology in the field at all times through continuous updates as well as data processing and AI modeling. 'AI Pack' is a customized AI technology, such as OCR technology that can extract desired information from images, high-performance natural language processing search technology that can search for information with similar meaning, and recommendation technology that takes customer information and product and service characteristics into consideration. It is a one-stop solution to help you utilize it.
