Never knew about them. Found their Wikipedia page & truth to say, I'm unimpressed. In fact, I'm a bit alarmed.
First impression is that this is actually "answering to the test" on steroids. Maybe that's what the parents wanted & so the model works?

Mindspark is for mathematics learning, for practise. For assessment purposes, challenge is in using AI to assess unstructured/open ended answers - thats what the ISI plans to try.

Replying to @butsandifs @prem_k and
the ISI proposal is AI more on the lines of computer-vision probably about reading the final answer via OCR (numeric, perhaps?) and then checking it & grading it - might not be the same as grading an open ended essay which is a lot more complex

Afaik, essays have also been graded by machines, feedback given and when asked, students could not tell the difference between a mechanized TA and a real person. This was a watershed moment in machine assessment.

My understanding was (I came across this since we use
#NLProc at work) that it's not as great as it was initially advertised.https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pa7dj9/flawed-algorithms-are-grading-millions-of-students-essays …2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

And that's, I think, why ISI wants to remove bias. Though I think they would also want to make their

It's a worthy effort, but not reliable until proven. And given current evidence, not necessarily replicable.

Right now, IMHO, knowing current progress in
#NLProc,#AI has what you'd call "reading comprehension disability" in children (if I dare anthropomorphise machines just for this once, against@j2bryson's advice
) and that's not getting fixed soon enough for @GaryMarcus to relent.1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

That large proportions of people have reading skills lower than high-end NLP a) has been demonstrated by the

No high end NLU can understand a story as well as an average person (eg who did what to whom, when, where and why). (Some people have trouble with orthography, very few with comprehension.)
