Introduction By means of current and emerging artificial-intelligence techniques, stories can be processed into embeddings, into high-dimensional points or trajectories, such that stories that were similar to one another would be mapped to points near to one another in story spaces. A brief unfolding history of story embeddings is presented, below, and some of their […]
Introduction Today, generative artificial-intelligence systems can create and revise charts, diagrams, graphs, images, and infographics via natural-language interaction (Dibia, 2023). In the future, conversational multimedia search engines and generative artificial-intelligence systems will, together, enable more extemporaneous and improvisational uses of data and visual media, including video content, during lectures, meetings, and presentations. Let us imagine […]
Introduction Artificial-intelligence systems capable of asking, managing, and answering questions while incrementally processing and analyzing texts could enhance: story comprehension and prediction, automatic item generation, synthetic data generation, automatic text summarization, the design and engineering of instructional materials and technical documentation, and the writing of stories. Modeling Reading Historical approaches to computationally modeling the various […]
Introduction Man-machine literature discussions about moral stories could provide value both to individuals (Goldenberg, 1992) and to artificial-intelligence systems (Sinatra, Graesser, Hu, Brawner, & Rus, 2019; Tong & Hu, 2024). User Modeling Self-improving adaptive instructional systems model users, both learners and experts. These models can be more generic, or stereotype-based, or more specific and highly […]
Automated Historical Research Today, research is underway into aiding and automating scientific and scholarly research processes. Zhang, Pearson, and Wang (2024) discuss automated scientific research in the form of literature reviews. Kang and Xiong (2024) have developed a benchmark for measuring artificial-intelligence systems’ capabilities with respect to conducting academic surveys. In the not-too-distant future, artificial-intelligence […]
Introduction Attention span is the amount of time that learners can spend concentrating on tasks. Sustained attention develops through childhood and into adulthood, with a period of accelerated development occurring during early and middle childhood (Slattery, O’Callaghan, Ryan, Fortune, & McAvinue, 2022). Attention training is a part of education. Learners are trained to remain focused […]
Introduction Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and vital to nations’ education objectives. How can it be made more enjoyable and fun for learners of all ages? Comparative Mathematics Curriculum In the United States, while mathematics curriculum varies across schools and districts, traditionally, high-school mathematics has been separated by topics, each topic typically lasting […]
Introduction The challenge addressed here is that of ensuring that all applicable rules, laws, and regulations are loaded into artificial-intelligence agents' working memories as they encounter wide, potentially open-ended, sets of situations. By agents being able to search for, retrieve, and load applicable rules, laws, and regulations into their working memories, they could be in […]
Introduction Agents representing ideological stances, positions, perspectives, or schools of thought can serve in multi-agent systems which generate encyclopedic answers to end-users' complex questions. Agent Design, Reuse and Selection Large language models can generate content while role-playing, or impersonating, characters and personas (Shanahan, McDonell, & Reynolds, 2023). They can be fine-tuned using the works of […]
Introduction Personas for role-playing language agents can be categorized into three distinct categories: demographic personas, character personas, and individualized personas (Chen, Wang, Xu, Tuan, Zhang, Shi, & Xie, 2024). Demographic personas focus on groups of people sharing common characteristics. Character personas represent well-established, widely-recognized individuals. Individualized personas refer to digital profiles built and continuously updated […]
