AI-enabled Education

Education across the world has undergone a critical transformation in the last decades. In the last few years, with the advancement in the technology, education has adopted the use of new technological tools, and today, the advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science has the potential to deal with challenges in teaching and learning processes. For example, students learn differently, at different rates and with differing levels of learning ability and aptitude. Students has different analytical thought, various creative and communicative abilities, skill sets that differ from one region of the world to another. And some students may deal with physical and mental disabilities.

The challenges in this hackathon will focus on novel applications of AI in education from machine learning and data analytics to process automation and cognitive assistants. To facilitate personalize learning for each individual student and to augment teching with personal conversational education assistants.
