"What is Neuromatch Academy?
Neuromatch Academy (NMA) launched last year as a response to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim is to provide globally-accessible,
high-quality, TA-supported training in computational techniques related
to neuroscience. In 2020, NMA designed and ran a fully online 3-week
Computational Neuroscience course for 1757 students with 191 teaching
assistants (TAs) working in virtual inverted (or flipped) classrooms and
on small group projects. Fourteen languages, active community
management, and low cost allowed for an unprecedented level of
inclusivity and universal accessibility.
What’s in a course?
Our courses are intensive 3-week programs involving hands-on tutorials
developed by experts in the field. We have two tracks for students:
interactive and observer. Accepted interactive students are placed into
TA-led pods (groups) using the Neuromatch algorithm, which matches
students with common interests who are in the same time zone and their
preferred language for instruction. Interactive students receive
personalized support as they work through hands-on tutorials and
collaborate on course projects. Officially registered observer track
students have full access to the materials, access to NMA course
communications (e.g., Discord), and can choose to be matched with other
observer track students
What does it cost?
We charge full-time students/academics a region adjusted small fee for
the Interactive track in order to pay for TAs (fee waivers are available
to those who need it, no questions asked). Students without an academic
affiliation (i.e., industry applicants) are charged the full
unsubsidized cost of the school, but can also inquire about waivers.
Observer track participants have access to all the content at no cost,
but are not placed in TA-led pods.

[a book, also a new way to write and publish a book]
Andrew Freed has / is writing a book using an online platform. The book
is "Creating Virtual Assistants Chatbots that work".
Design, develop, and deploy human-like AI solutions that chat with
your customers, solve their problems, and streamline your support services.
Creating Virtual Assistants: Chatbots that work teaches you to create
the kind of AI-enabled chatbots that are revolutionizing the customer
service industry. You’ll learn to build effective conversational AI that
can automate common inquiries and easily address your customers' most
common problems.
In Creating Virtual Assistants, you will learn how to:
Pick the right virtual assistant type and channel for your needs
Write dialog with intentional tone and specificity
Train a virtual assistant classifier from the ground up
Create question-and-direct-response assistants
Design and optimize a process flow for web and voice
Test your assistant’s accuracy and plan out improvements
This engaging and entertaining book delivers the essential technical and
creative skills for designing successful virtual assistants, from coding
process flows and training machine learning, to improving your written
dialog.
About the technology
Virtual assistants multiply the effectiveness of customer-facing
communication. Great chatbots automate common tasks like gathering
information, responding to questions, and improving product selections
so human staff can work on more challenging problems. These powerful
tools range from event classifiers that can act on an email message to
conversational assistants that actually talk to your users!

hybrid AI systems where humans and machines collaborate, machines learn
to adapt on how to interact with their users, and humans and machines
teach each other to improve their individual and joint performance. We
maintain a broad view where humans and machines can adopt the role of
the teacher or the learner and investigate both directions, humans
teaching machines and vice versa, using various applications as test
cases. We are particularly interested in how we can personalize such
interactions, by means of knowledge structures such as a memory of
interactions in order to learn user profiles and ensure interaction
remains engaging over time. Multi-modal perception is key to making
effective interactive systems and expertise in this area is a pre, as is
expertise in the design of such interactions using e.g., conversational
AI, (social) robots, or other adaptive or knowledge-driven interfaces.
Our facilities (used for research as well as teaching) include our
Social AI lab with different hardware platforms such as the Nao and
Pepper social robots, smart displays such as Google nest hubs. We are

Recently ran across this. A series of important, correct (although
somewhat dry) information about how to avoid infections. Infections are
not going away, might be worth watching in the background. Be among
the first to watch these. These explain terms that are useful for
understanding the new world.
