Vision classification tasks, a fundamental and transformative aspect of deep learning and computer vision, play a pivotal role in our ability to understand the visual world. Deep learning techniques have revolutionized the field, enabling unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in vision classification. However, deep learning models, especially…

Large amounts of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) data is created through hospitals, therapy centers, and mobile applications; however, much of this rich data does not have pre-existing classes or labels. Large amounts of data--both genetic and behavioral--that are collected as part of scientific studies or a part of treatment can provide a deeper,…

Machine learning-based modeling technology has recently become a powerful technique and tool for developing models for explaining, predicting, and describing system/human behaviors. In developing intelligent education systems or technologies, some research has focused on applying unique machine learning algorithms to build the ad-hoc student…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been put forth as a technological innovation which can change the way in which healthcare will be delivered in the near future. AI developers plan to deploy tools that will aid diagnosis, improve therapy, minimize errors, increase safety, and optimize systems and bring down costs. In addition, a paradigmatic shift…

Among the great challenges posed to democracy today is the use of technology, data, and automated systems in ways that threaten the rights of the American public. Too often, these tools are used to limit our opportunities and prevent our access to critical resources or services. These problems are well documented. In America and around the world,…

Within classrooms, psychologists and teachers use direct behavior observation methods, systematic behavior observations (SBOs) and direct behavior ratings (DBRs), to gather information about students' behaviors for the purposes of making decisions related to diagnosis and classroom management or behavioral feedback respectively. Observers use SBOs…

The introduction of artificial intelligence in education (AIED) is likely to have a profound impact on the lives of children and young people. This article explores the different types of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in common use in education, their social context and their relationship with the growth of commercial knowledge monopolies.…

Purpose: This paper aims to demonstrate how skills taxonomies can be used in combination with machine learning to integrate diverse online datasets and reveal skills gaps. The purpose of this study is then to show how the skills gaps revealed by the integrated datasets can be used to achieve better labour market alignment, keep educational…

We address the issue of consumer privacy against the backdrop of the national priority of maintaining global leadership in artificial intelligence, the ongoing research in Artificial Cognitive Assistants, and the explosive growth in the development and application of Voice Activated Personal Assistants (VAPAs) such as Alexa and Siri, spurred on by…
