On day 3/4 of our joint Freiburg AI and Heidelberg NeurIPS Meetup week, we are pleased to present the invited talk “How Duolingo Uses AI to Assess, Engage and Teach Better” by Luis von Ahn (CEO Duolingo).

Our agenda starts at 7:00pm:

2. Talk (with interactive chat) about “How Duolingo Uses AI to Assess, Engage and Teach Better”
3. Discussion and Q&A session

Abstract:
Duolingo is the most popular way to learn languages in the world. With over half a billion exercises completed every day, we have the largest dataset of people learning languages ever amassed. In this talk I will describe all the different ways in which we use AI to improve how well we teach and how to keep our learners engaged.
