재영박협 2022-23 학술세미나 인문과학분과

인공 지능 (AI) 지능에 관한 사회적 담론을 지속하는 노력의 일환으로, 이번 세미나는 언어 학습 및 교육과 관련한 AI의 역할을 논의하는 자리를 준비하였습니다. 대화형 인공지능 (Conversational AI) 기술을 중점적으로 연구하는 Waseda University & Equmenopolis 연구팀에서 흥미로운 이야기를 준비하였으니, 관심 있는 회원님의 많은 참석 부탁드립니다 :)  

주제: Pedagogical potential of multimodal conversational AI for foreign language learning and assessment
