"We hope to explore the positive power of using artificial intelligence, big data, and other educational technologies to provide fair and quality education for more people in the new era of 'AI＋'," said Bai Yunfeng, President of TAL Education Group.

At the Beijing Expo, TAL Education's online school, Xueersi, showcased its independently developed "AI Teacher" and other products. At the exhibition, the AI Teacher demonstrated how artificial intelligence can significantly improve the accessibility of education. As a new scientific research achievement, the AI Teacher integrates technologies such as emotion recognition, speech recognition and assessment, and OCR handwriting recognition.

At the exhibition, Bai Yunfeng introduced the mission and vision of TAL Education to the guests present and accompanied them to experience the "Dual-Teacher Classroom" of the Far Mountains Charity Foundation.

The AI Teacher includes AI Language Learning System, AI Teacher One-on-One English, AI Teacher Intelligent Correction, and VR Teaching Experience. Its basic functions include emotion recognition, speech recognition and assessment, OCR image recognition technology, and more. With the support of these technologies, the AI Teacher provides immense potential for future education.

The AI Teacher Language Learning System can also help foreign friends who want to learn Chinese. Xueersi Online School has developed multi-language teaching functions for Russian, French, Czech, and other languages, assisting friends from "Belt and Road" countries in learning Chinese.

For leading education groups with the mission of "advancing education through technology," the AI Teacher is just one of many new "AI＋ education" products.

At the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education held in cooperation between China and UNESCO not long ago, TAL Education Group showcased the latest "AI＋ Education" products such as the "WISROOM Xueersi Smart Classroom Solution," "AI Teacher of Xueersi Online School," and "Paper & Pen Smart Classroom," receiving praise from the attendees.

WISROOM is a set of smart classroom solutions developed by TAL Education, providing personalized attention and interaction for each student with AI-empowered education and the results of neurological research.

In many areas such as Ningxia's "Internet + Education" demonstration area, TAL Education uses the WISROOM teaching system to deliver lectures by AI foreign teachers, addressing issues such as the shortage of foreign language teachers and faulty pronunciation. Over the past year, TAL Education has benefited 14,000 students and 4,000 teachers in 8 impoverished counties in 4 provinces through methods such as dual-teacher live broadcasts and AI teachers. Not only can children in the mountains enjoy the same quality education resources and services as those in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, but their teachers can also receive remote teaching research and guidance, fundamentally addressing the problem of uneven education resources.

In 2018, TAL Education collaborated with the Shanghai Education Commission to pilot the use of paper and pen classroom tools at Xuhui Central Primary School in Shanghai. This provides a precise recording of students' behavior based on data, allowing real-time understanding of what students have mastered and how well, as well as the discovery of students' abilities and weaknesses to help them uncover their potential, laying a solid foundation for achieving large-scale personalized teaching. Driving education with data to accommodate individual learning needs is the direction of education development.

At the same time, TAL Education hopes to use scientific and technological means to provide large-scale, low-cost, high-quality educational services that truly promote educational equity and universal access, benefiting more people.

At the Beijing Expo, TAL Education's inclusive interactive learning brand "Xueersi Qingly Interactive Course" signed a contract with Baidu's conversational AI operating system "Xiaodu Assistant." In the future, the two parties will collaborate on technology and business aspects such as semantic understanding, multi-round voice interaction, children's voiceprint recognition, and image recognition.

In addition to Xueersi Online School and Far Mountains Charity Foundation's participation in the Beijing Expo, TAL Education's Smart Education division also showcased three products at the Changping Sub-venue: "Paper & Pen Smart Classroom" for behavior analysis to assist precise teaching, "AI Teacher" to support high-quality teaching staff, and "Future Cloud Platform" for data-driven personalized learning.

Regarding their participation in the Beijing Expo, Bai Yunfeng stated that the reasonable application of advanced technologies such as AI artificial intelligence, the Internet, and big data can not only help achieve widespread education and promote balanced educational development but also drive educational reform, enabling Chinese education to move towards the world and connect with the future.

Bai Yunfeng expressed that driven by the mission of "advancing education through technology," TAL Education Group will further explore future education models such as "AI＋ education," solving the contradiction of "scaling" and "personalization" that has long plagued the development of education, promoting modern and balanced educational development.
