Less than a year online AI open platform-Baidu AI Studio has another big move! This time, it set its sights on universities all over China.

On the basis of the personal version, AI Studio launched an educational version tailored for university teachers and students, which provides teaching projects, teaching interaction, AI online training environment and teaching management background, and strives to solve the difficulties of teachers in class, students' practice and teaching process tracking in the process of artificial intelligence education in colleges and universities.

How hard is the AI Studio for cloud development?

Launched in June last year, AI Studio is an one-stop development platform launched by Baidu, which integrates AI tutorials, code environment, algorithm computing power and data sets, and provides users with an online cloud computing programming environment, which does not require users to download and install, configure the environment and rely on packages and other tedious steps to carry out deep learning projects.

AI Studio personal Edition

On the basis of the original platform, the newly launched AI Studio education version has a deep understanding of the artificial intelligence education scene in colleges and universities and creates a new era AI education model. With the four characteristics of one-stop teaching service, massive latest teaching plan projects in the industry, unique online high-performance teaching practice environment, and stable service guarantee, AI Studio Education Edition can connect students, teachers, teaching materials and practice environment, and efficiently solve a series of problems faced by traditional AI education, such as boring theoretical explanation, low enthusiasm of students, lack of teachers' teaching resources, inability to carry out practical exercises, and so on.

Teachers in universities and other educational institutions can make personalized settings through four sections: teaching class management, student management, teaching area and class information to achieve full-line AI teaching, while students can build their own AI curriculum learning plan through identity authentication and project learning.

Different from other paid services on cloud platforms, AI Studio Education Edition provides all services, including computing resources, space resources, project hosting and video tutorials, free of charge, reducing the burden on teachers and students.

Education scene, intelligent education on "AI"

Baidu did not launch AI Studio on a whim. In fact, Baidu has never relaxed its attempt to empower artificial intelligence education in colleges and universities, and the launch of AI Studio education version directly reshapes the AI education model from the basic level, especially in providing teaching cases, promoting students' practice and tracking teaching achievements.

In view of the pain point of the lack of teaching cases in colleges and universities, AI Studio Education Edition provides a full set of teaching curriculum materials and practical projects officially recommended by Baidu to solve the problem that it is difficult for teachers to attend classes. Teachers only need to click add Notebook in the teaching content section of the teaching area, and they can select the corresponding cases to add to the course from Baidu's "AI Learning Project" and "my Project" directory. Based on the teaching projects added by teachers, students can choose their own interest projects in the project learning section, use the online development resources provided by the platform for free, run models on notebooks, and do development, so that they can really break away from the constraints of objective conditions and practice freely.

Rich cases of teaching practice are provided on the AI Studio Education Edition.

Among the many functions of this version, the project statistics function of "round-the-clock" tracking of the teaching process is highly expected by the R & D team. Through project statistics, teachers can track students' project practice / homework / test completion in real time and grade them, realizing the teaching interaction between teachers and students, so that teachers can have more comprehensive control over the overall situation of the class.

In the university teaching scene, teachers can realize the full coverage of the whole teaching process of pre-class material push, in-class interaction and after-class test with the help of AI Studio education version, so that theoretical explanation and practical practice can be organically combined to significantly improve the teaching effect. At the same time, this version also helps students to complete the curriculum flipping, to achieve pre-class preview, in-class solution, after-class review, while tamping the theoretical foundation while getting more practical opportunities.

Rise abruptly based on accumulated strength, AI Studio rushes to the beach in the opening season of colleges and universities

As an enterprise, it is not easy for Baidu to deeply understand the educational scenarios and give scientific solutions based on these scenarios. Behind the launch of the AI Studio education version is the result of Baidu's experience in exchanges and cooperation with universities over the years and the overall control of AI technology.

Among Baidu's numerous school-enterprise cooperation projects, the national deep learning teacher training class directly promoted the birth of AI Studio education version. Since May last year, Baidu has held three national deep learning teacher training courses, training more than 300 university teachers. During the activity, a number of participating teachers put forward the hope of introducing Baidu's open source platform into the actual teaching, and put forward many suggestions for improvement based on the teaching scene. This became the driving force behind the birth of the educational version of AI Stduio.

From the demand for the third teacher training course in December last year to the successful launch on March 5, the research and development team of AI Studio Education Edition gave up the Spring Festival holiday and lasted for three months, and finally gave a spring semester opening gift to teachers and students of colleges and universities across the country.

This year's government work report puts forward the concept of "intelligence +" for the first time, further emphasizing the important role of artificial intelligence in industrial development. As a science and technology enterprise, Baidu cherishes artificial intelligence talents behind the education scene of colleges and universities. In the process of embracing the national strategy, Baidu based on its own technological advantages, open source to colleges and universities to empower, cooperate to train artificial intelligence talents, practice their own responsibility.

The launch of the AI Studio education version puts forward new ideas and creates a new model for the reform of artificial intelligence education in China, which enables schools and enterprises to realize the exchange of resources and complementary advantages, and directly breaks through the bottleneck of talent docking between schools and enterprises, and provides a classic example for the training of artificial intelligence talents. At the same time, Baidu also expects more colleges and universities to join, while updating and improving the ecology of the existing platform, let China's AI really popularize on campus, sow more AI seeds, and continue to promote the development of artificial intelligence technology in China.
