The end product envisioned will provide a platform to help young professionals get started on their career and connect with resources that can help them along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"s1\">At this point the collaboration has already researched the issue,&#8221; said\u00a0Dr. Carolyn Ros\u00e9, professor of Language Technologies and Human-Computer Interaction at CMU and principle investigator on the project. &#8220;The team now intends to scale the initiative for broad use on campus. The grant will go to building this deployment.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Connecting the Dots with AI<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The effort marks a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon researchers and WGU\u2019s Center for Applied Learning Sciences (CALS). As Dr.Ros\u00e9 and her team envision, the result of the efforts will help inform learners about details of the shifting employment landscape without replacing existing human resources. Using data points and metrics regarding topics such as demand, career paths and growth, personal wellbeing, and community connection, the effort will match learners with \u2018Intelligent Coaching Agents,\u2019 to help them further their professional goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The macro goals of the project will be to create an intermediary between the often-overwhelming resources available online and either a job itself or additional resources that can help job seekers along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;WGU is one of the nation&#8217;s largest online universities, serving a population of working individuals seeking career transitions in the face of a dramatically changing career landscape,&#8221; said Dr. Carolyn Ros\u00e9, Professor of Language Technologies and Human-Computer Interaction at CMU, in a press release. &#8220;We&#8217;re building a sociotechnical solution that can have a real-world impact on decision making. This partnership offers the opportunity for tremendous impact with populations who need the support most.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">That WGU student body will form the springboard for the tool. It will inform learners based on the experiences of the institution\u2019s alumni. To do so, the adaptive system relies on the emerging academic paradigm of socially sensitive reinforcement learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;WGU is thrilled to be working in partnership with the team at\u00a0Carnegie Mellon. Their track record for creating new paradigms that leverage technology to advance human learning aligns perfectly with WGU&#8217;s mission and model,&#8221; said\u00a0Jason Levin, Executive Director of CALS at WGU Labs, in a release. &#8220;We have the opportunity to design a scientifically sound, data-driven model that improves the student experience and, most importantly, outcomes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Carnegie Mellon Researchers Tap WGU for Their Data<\/h1>\n<p>According to Dr.\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">Ros\u00e9, her team approached Western Governors&#8217; University because of their size and status as one of the largest online professional institutions in the U.S. Eventually their product will go live on the WGU platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;It\u2019s extremely important to work with them to get the work done because it\u2019s all centered around data from their platform with the idea of eventually deploying it on their platform,&#8221; Dr.\u00a0Ros\u00e9 said. &#8220;So it\u2019s all centered around WGU, but the research was framed by CMU. It\u2019s extremely valuable in research to have a context with which to work and where the impacts can be very large. WGU is one of the biggest online universities in the country. So to work with them on this project is like a gold mine.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $700,000 grant to Western Governors University and Carnegie Mellon University to support an existing project that seeks to create an AI-powered professional development tool that will help students enter the professional world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-industry-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
