The 22nd International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories (RPMBT22) will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, September 23-27, 2024 (The reception and the registration are available on September 22). A series of conferences offer an ideal opportunity to recognize important achievements and to showcase significant new results in various aspects of many-body physics.
The conference is hosted by the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba.
Today, computational science is an indispensable research methodology in the basic and applied sciences and contributes significantly to the progress of a wide variety of scientific research fields. For multidisciplinary computational science based on the fusion of computational and computer sciences, frequent/regular opportunities for communication and collaboration are essential. The Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at the University of Tsukuba aims to improve such collaborations between different research fields. In this symposium, plenary speakers in various fields of computational sciences will give us talks on research frontiers, comprehensible to researchers and graduate students in other fields. In 2010, the CCS was recognized under the Advanced Interdisciplinary Computational Science Collaboration Initiative (AISCI) by MEXT, and has since provided the use of its computational facilities to researchers nationwide as part of the Multidisciplinary Cooperative Research Program (MCRP).

Title: AI for Personalized Education Speaker: Prof. Mukesh Mohania (IIIT Delhi, India) Date: 18 June 2024 Time:14:30-15:30 (updated) Venue:SB911-2 (updated) Language: English
Abstract: Online courses and learning systems have gained tremendous popularity over the last few years. While their ease of access and availability make them a very useful medium for knowledge sharing and learning, they do not keep the learners and their learning abilities in mind. The “one size fits all” approach to learning content and the question paper does not work in a large virtual classroom consisting of diverse students with different skill profiles, learning styles, aptitude and capabilities. In a traditional classroom, teachers who interact closely with students are in a position to evaluate the pace and depth of the curriculum being taught and can also suggest learning content to students not being able to cope with the general classroom teaching. Such suggestions and guidance are absent in current online learning systems. In this talk, we aim to address how AI can help in (1) making content smarter through learning content analytics and automatic content tagging, (2) generating the diverse, but semantically related, questions for evaluating the students’ knowledge, (3) assisting in short answers evaluation, and finally (4) understanding the students’ learning style/capacity through learning data analytics, thus enabling the adaptive and personalized education on Big Data platform.

要旨:
Online courses and learning systems have gained tremendous popularity over the last few years. While their ease of access and availability make them a very useful medium for knowledge sharing and learning, they do not keep the learners and their learning abilities in mind. The “one size fits all” approach to learning content and the question paper does not work in a large virtual classroom consisting of diverse students with different skill profiles, learning styles, aptitude and capabilities. In a traditional classroom, teachers who interact closely with students are in a position to evaluate the pace and depth of the curriculum being taught and can also suggest learning content to students not being able to cope with the general classroom teaching. Such suggestions and guidance are absent in current online learning systems. In this talk, we aim to address how AI can help in (1) making content smarter through learning content analytics and automatic content tagging, (2) generating the diverse, but semantically related, questions for evaluating the students’ knowledge, (3) assisting in short answers evaluation, and finally (4) understanding the students’ learning style/capacity through learning data analytics, thus enabling the adaptive and personalized education on Big Data platform.

The Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at the University of Tsukuba has solidified a significant partnership with the Big Data for Smart Society (GATE) Institute, situated at Sofia University in Bulgaria. The agreement, signed on April 26, 2024, marks a milestone in fostering collaboration between academic institutions in advancing research and innovation in the fields of big data and artificial intelligence (AI).
GATE Institute is renowned for its collaborative efforts with government bodies, industries, and entrepreneurs to drive impactful research and innovation in the realms of big data and AI. The institute serves as a hub for foundational and applied research, as well as for promoting education in these cutting-edge domains.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between CCS and GATE Institute aims to facilitate joint research initiatives, promote information sharing, and encourage academic exchange. The collaboration will particularly focus on leveraging meteorology research to contribute to the development of smart cities and societies.
In continuation of the MOU signing ceremony, a hybrid seminar was conducted, providing a platform for engaging discussions among participants.
