On October 20th, the 6th World Internet Conference officially opened in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province. Xueersi Online Education, a brand under New Oriental, was once again invited to participate in the "Light of the Internet" expo, standing alongside well-known internet companies such as Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, and Baidu in the core exhibition area. Wan Yi Ting, General Manager of Public Affairs of New Oriental Group, introduced the exhibition to the central ministries and Zhejiang provincial leaders at the event.

At the 5th World Internet Conference, Xueersi Online Education's exhibition area attracted widespread attention. At this conference, the "AI Teacher" series products developed by Xueersi Online Education (including "AI Teacher Monitoring System", "AI Teacher Vocabulary Learning", "AI Teacher Language Learning System", and "VR Immersive Classroom") were showcased, demonstrating the technological achievements based on advanced educational concepts.

AI Empowers Good Teachers

In a small room with a wall painted pure green, as a "teacher" gives a lecture in front of a green screen, a series of jumping data is displayed on the monitor in real time. This is the independently developed "AI Teacher Monitoring System" of Xueersi Online Education, showcasing the magical effect of artificial intelligence in improving the quality of teaching.

The "AI Teacher Monitoring System" is designed for teachers, deeply integrating Xueersi Online Education's independently developed voice recognition and facial recognition technologies, to structure and visualize real-time data in online classrooms. Teachers can adjust their teaching content and methods based on real-time scoring, ensuring a high-quality, fully interactive online classroom experience.

The "AI Teacher Monitoring System" evaluates the teacher's teaching performance in real time based on several dimensions such as "affinity", "clarity", "fluency", "interaction", and "focus". Not only did the on-site audience participate, but professional TV hosts from Zhejiang TV also entered the green screen live room to challenge for high scores. The "temporary teachers" expressed, "It's not easy to be a good teacher, but with this system and more practice, I can also become a good teacher."

It was introduced that the "AI Teacher Monitoring System" has "two treasures" to help teachers improve the quality of teaching:

First is the voice recognition technology, which can recognize the teacher's teaching content in real time, analyze aspects such as speed, volume, pauses, etc., and depict clarity, fluency, and key points, enabling the teacher to speak more clearly.

Second is the facial recognition technology, which detects and analyzes the teacher's facial expressions in real time, serving as an analytical data source for the classroom affinity. It evaluates the effectiveness of classroom interactions by recognizing and analyzing teaching gestures, thereby improving teacher-student interactions.

The "AI Teacher" has been maturely applied in Xueersi Online Education's classrooms, further deepening personalized education and continuously helping tailored teaching. The advantages of "Internet + Education" will further benefit more children, promote educational equity, and accelerate cultural dissemination and exchange.

Multilingual Learning Facilitates Cultural Exchange

The "AI Teacher Language Learning System" of Xueersi Online Education, which made another appearance at the World Internet Conference, has improved accuracy and real-time feedback in pronunciation assessments through iterative optimization based on a large number of real data and adaptive learning, making it more suitable for local students' pronunciation characteristics. The system has also upgraded to include various languages, presenting common Chinese vocabulary in a "picture + bilingual pronunciation" mode, making it easier to learn Mandarin Chinese.

At an elementary school in Zhaojue County, deep in the Daliang Mountains, this Mandarin teaching system was applied during a "AI Teacher" Mandarin class, where about 80,000 Yi children efficiently learned Mandarin through bilingual models. This Mandarin learning system not only promotes educational equity but also effectively promotes the dissemination of Chinese culture worldwide.

For many children struggling with learning English and vocabulary memorization, the "AI Teacher" also provides a solution. "AI Teacher Vocabulary Learning" is a truly personalized vocabulary learning product that deeply integrates Xueersi Online Education's independently developed voice recognition, voice assessment, voice synthesis, OCR text recognition, and screen handwriting recognition, among five artificial intelligence technologies. With just a mobile phone, users can input the text to be dictated by taking a photo, and the "AI Teacher" can instantly correct it and generate a personalized vocabulary list based on the user's recitation records, helping with vocabulary learning practice and consolidation.

"Teaching and Learning" Ensures Learning Effectiveness

While education nurtures individuals, it also plays a core role in cultural inheritance. In the working points released by the Ministry of Education in February of this year, there is a clear emphasis on promoting the deep integration of information technology with educational and teaching practices.

When VR and AR technology, which are widely used in gaming, entertainment, scientific research, and medical fields, are introduced into educational scenes, classrooms face disruptive innovations, and knowledge learning becomes more imaginative. Immersion is no longer just a metaphor. "In the past, my departing friend left the Yellow Crane Tower, and in the third month, I went to Yangzhou," with VR glasses on, the audience can "enter" the Tower, while admiring the structure and decoration, and listening to explanations of the Yellow Crane Tower's poems.

Xueersi Online Education utilizes VR technology to create new learning scenarios, allowing children to immerse themselves in ancient Chinese landscape scroll paintings while learning ancient poetry. This not only allows them to experience the sentiments and reflections behind ancient Chinese poetry but also enhances their attention and broadens their knowledge in the classroom.

In addition, VR classrooms will also be used for dangerous or large-scale experiments in physics and chemistry education, where practical and theoretical knowledge can be better combined.
