Automatic Exam Marking Using AI

AI Academy 3 pm

Introduction

The Course on Automated Exam Marking using AI it immerses you in the exciting world where the Artificial intelligence is transforming education. In a context where the digitalisation in education is booming; the ability to use AI to mark exams represents a a highly sought-after skill. This course offers you a in-depth understanding of the Fundamentals of AI-based assessment, approaching the issue from the basic principles up to the ethical challenges and the transparency. You’ll learn how to use the natural language processing (NLP) to improve the autocorrect and you will explore how the advanced language models, such as BERT y GPT, they can to revolutionise educational assessment. You’ll also delve into the design and development of automatic correction systems, understanding the workflow and the quality metrics. Taking part in this course puts you in a position to at the forefront of an educational revolution, opening doors to new career opportunities in a a constantly evolving labour market.
