Machine Learning in Education

Improving student outcomes and accelerating research

Overview

Machine learning (ML) is transforming education and fundamentally changing teaching, learning, and research. Educators are using ML to spot struggling students earlier and take action to improve success and retention. Researchers are accelerating research with ML to unlock new discoveries and insights. ML is expanding the reach and impact of online learning content through localization, transcription, text-to-speech, and personalization. Lastly, AWS is working with leaders in the public sector to adapt to the new world of ML and better equip students with the skills and expertise they need to succeed.
