Technology company Intel has partnered with virtual school software company Class to make AI facial analysis programs to detect student boredom and confusion in online classes, reports Protocol. Class, the company whose software works to expand Zoom, announced its partnership with multinational corporation Intel in a March 23 blog post.
The analytics system that detects the student facial expressions was developed by Intel using videos of students in real-life classrooms. A team of psychologists viewed the videos, labeled the emotions that they could detect in students, and fed the data to an algorithmic model that categorizes student emotions.
