In order to implement China's "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan," the Ministry of Science and Technology has launched the "Science and Technology Innovation 2030 - New Generation Artificial Intelligence" major project and approved TAL Education to undertake the construction of the National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for smart education.

Recently, the platform officially launched the AI Cloud Classroom (https://ai.weilaixuetang.com/) (hereinafter referred to as the TAL AI Cloud Classroom), which aims to build a free shared learning platform for internet users, cultivate more talents in frontier technology fields, and contribute to the development of China's smart education.

Open Frontier Technology Courses, Building a Shared Learning Platform

Relying on TAL's smart education and AI open platform, the TAL AI Cloud Classroom gathers a group of lecturers who are both knowledgeable and technically proficient, with rich experience and innovative personal insights in their professional fields. Currently, the TAL AI Cloud Classroom focuses on nine frontier areas of smart education, offering courses in these areas. As of now, there are courses available in nine internet career directions with more than 50 courses in total. The courses in the artificial intelligence field account for one-third of the total, including a series of sub-courses such as speech recognition, neural networks, machine learning, and deep learning. Additionally, there are courses in big data, databases, backend, frontend, mobile development, cloud-native, testing, and basic computer skills. In the future, courses for new internet careers such as product management, UI design, and operations will be introduced.

According to a representative of the TAL AI Cloud Classroom, the newly launched courses are primarily small classes that are easy to study. Small classes aim to keep each lesson under 30 minutes to facilitate users' learning during their spare time. The easy-study approach ensures that the course content is easy to understand, using methodologies to stimulate learners' thinking, allowing users to study effortlessly. The content of the courses includes the latest theoretical achievements in smart education from the past three years, aiming to cover new technologies, new directions, and new futures comprehensively for internet careers, creating a shared learning platform that breaks through the career development field and seizes new opportunities.

It is worth mentioning that the TAL AI Cloud Classroom has also set up a special column called "Big Shot Show," inviting renowned experts in the field of frontier internet technology research to share their insights on specific topics. The first batch of online courses is expected to go live in early May, covering areas such as neural networks, cloud-native, and large frontend.

Sharing Quality Resources and Experiences, Promoting Educational Equity

As a representative of technology and education enterprises, TAL has 20 years of experience in education and educational technology research accumulation. In particular, TAL is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence in educational scenarios to promote educational equity. Not only has TAL achieved the widespread application of AI in online education, such as Meixue intelligent homework, AI classrooms, learning data visualization, and intelligent learning devices, but it also actively leverages the power of educational technology to expand the coverage of high-quality educational resources. Through cooperation with the TAL Philanthropy Foundation, it has carried out educational public welfare projects such as TAL M School smart research rooms, dual-teacher AI classrooms, and intelligent self-learning rooms in remote areas, effectively solving the problem of unequal distribution of quality educational resources.

Additionally, TAL actively promotes industry development and has initially formed an open innovation platform ecosystem for smart education that features "autonomous control of basic software and hardware, open sharing of industry-common technology and data, effective empowerment of application scenarios, and vibrant industrial innovation."

Currently, TAL (including its subordinate institutions) has won championships in 16 top academic conference competitions and runner-up positions in four. It has published 31 high-level academic papers in international journals and conferences, covering areas such as optical character recognition, image analysis, natural language processing, speech, and multimodal fields. TAL has published papers in leading conferences on computer vision (including CVPR, ICCV, ACM MM) and natural language processing (including EMNLP). TAL has applied for more than 220 patents, with over 150 patents authorized, and has more than 60 software copyrights.

"We wish to witness the growth of every user and let every learner witness the development of the TAL AI Cloud Classroom," said a representative of the TAL AI Cloud Classroom. TAL will continue to enrich the courses in the AI Cloud Classroom, providing more resources in the research and application fields of smart education for related learners, creating a better, more valuable, and future-oriented platform for new internet talents, and contributing to social progress.
