On August 29, the Ministry of Science and Technology's new generation of artificial intelligence development research center and Roland Berger consulting company jointly released the "Report on the Development of Innovative Applications of Smart Education" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), systematically analyzing the application and development of artificial intelligence technology in the field of education. On the same day at the 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Vice Minister of Science and Technology Li Meng announced the construction of the National New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for Smart Education, relying on Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) Group. The "Report" has adopted multiple research and application achievements of intelligent education from Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL).
The "Report on the Development of Innovative Applications of Smart Education" is officially released.
The "Report" comprehensively reviews the domestic and international policies, development trends, application scenarios, and typical application cases of smart education. It provides development recommendations based on the prediction of the development trend of smart education, offering important reference significance for the future layout of the education industry and the innovative development of all parties in education.
The "Report" conducted in-depth research on the practical cases of educational technology companies represented by Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) in the field of smart education. It systematically reviewed the development trend and application scenarios of smart education, and conducted a deep analysis of the innovative application of artificial intelligence in the full teaching process of "lesson preparation-teaching-exercises-exams-evaluation-management," believing that the application of artificial intelligence in the field of education has gradually infiltrated the entire teaching process, expanding from peripheral tool types to core teaching types. The "Report" also showcased innovative products such as Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL)'s WISROOM, children's oral language assessment system, and GodEye classroom quality assessment system.
Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) launched the industry's first WISROOM artificial intelligence classroom solution in 2018, which disassembles "learning" and "review" in the classroom. High-quality teachers with low cost and standard reliability are responsible for knowledge impartation in the classroom, while pre-class preview and post-class inquiries are handled by live teachers. Currently, WISROOM has covered 148 cities nationwide, serving nearly 800 educational and training institutions, with a student population exceeding 100,000. Through artificial intelligence engines, it designs personalized learning methods and paths, providing universal and high-quality educational resources for small and medium-sized cities, breaking the "high threshold" of high-quality education.
Tomorrow Advancing Life's children's oral language assessment system is based on children's Chinese and English voice data in real educational scenarios, customizing exclusive acoustic models for children, and evaluating dimensions including pronunciation, rhythm, fluency, and completeness to provide timely and accurate feedback on children's oral language. The monthly usage of this evaluation model has exceeded 40 million times. In addition, relying on this assessment system, Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) tailored a "pre-school children's Yi-Han bilingual learning system" for Zhaore county, Liangshan prefecture, Sichuan Province, helping children with learning in Chinese Pinyin, vocabulary, grammar, and other aspects. The system is currently being used in 71 schools, 124 teaching points, and nearly 60,000 students in Zhaore county.
Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL)'s GodEye classroom quality assessment system uses artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and data mining to capture classroom data from more than 2,000 dimensions. Starting from the 6 major classroom behaviors of students, it provides a detailed post-class report for each student, allowing advanced teaching concepts to be implemented. After being integrated into the teaching system, GodEye increased the classroom teaching evaluation coverage rate from less than 10% to 100% and improved the quality inspection efficiency by nearly 50 times.
Since its establishment, Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) has always insisted on using technology to promote educational progress. Currently, Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) has more than 5,000 research and development personnel with an accumulated research and development investment of over 1 billion yuan each year, establishing a smart education research and development system, basic support system, and a series of technical solutions. Through the National New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for Smart Education, Tomorrow Advancing Life (TAL) will open up numerous cutting-edge innovative practices of intelligent education to educational and teaching institutions, educational technology companies, educators, and artificial intelligence researchers in the form of technology, solutions, and industrialized services, helping industry partners grow together and jointly create, and contribute to achieving fair and quality education.
