As a global trend, preparations are being made to provide learning optimized for each individual student using a child's learning history. In Denmark, the country's Ministry of Statistics publishes lessons in the country's public schools. This country has begun to publish panel data that shows which teacher took which class and at what time. Of course, in Japan as well, preparations have begun to provide learning that is optimized for each individual student. Kagoshima City collects and analyzes learning data for each student in the cloud using tablet terminals. Learning data is collected from tablet terminals distributed to elementary and junior high schools.
The performance of recognition-type tasks such as image recognition, speech recognition, and translation has rapidly improved. At Avex, in cooperation with Microsoft Japan, they are trying to quantify audience satisfaction at live performances. It is a mechanism that takes a picture of a person's face with a camera, and AI evaluates the concentration and satisfaction of that person based on their facial expressions, orientation, and body movements. It can also be funny. A startup and NTT East are developing an AI system that uses speech recognition technology to detect pig coughs and learn about their health. If this AI system technology spreads, it will be possible to grasp the health condition of pigs just by coughing.
In Japan, tablets are distributed as digital textbook tools. However, it turns out that there are other uses for this tool as well. Some boards of education are using the tools distributed to children to take measures against school refusal, such as understanding physical and mental changes. One school board has instructed children to enter information about their daily moods and sleep times into terminals. This board of education digitizes information on children's daily moods and sleep time. If there is a change in mood or sleep time, teachers and school counselors will be available for consultation. If your physical condition is automatically entered, something fun will happen. We are going to do our class morning greetings on the tablet. The child's face and voice are collected as data. From the face and voice, it is possible to grasp the concentration level, satisfaction level, and physical condition such as cold. There are just under 10 million elementary and junior high school students in Japan. By collecting, accumulating, and analyzing the faces, voices, and satisfaction levels of these children as big data, we may be able to find a mechanism that will lead to the reduction of 610,000 cases of bullying and 240,000 school truancy.
