The importance of adaptivity for language acquisition

When learning a language, different learners need to focus on different things. Yet, most language training does not adapt to the learner, the learner is almost expected to adapt to it. Not so for Linguineo! At Linguineo, we explore new ways to practice speaking and writing, seek out new technologies and boldly go where no language training program has gone before! We have been researching how adaptivity can be optimized for language acquisition. We even went above and beyond and developed fine-grained adaptivity. A tailored approach for every individual learner, evidence-based and science-backed. It’s language learning, but not as you know it!

From feedback to action: our journey to a great grammar correction system

Hello there language enthusiasts and fellow educators! As we delve into the archives of our journey with ‘Murder on the Language Train,’ there is a particular moment that stands out – our time at Digiwijs. Picture this: a room filled with enthusiastic teachers, brimming with anticipation as we unveiled our language-learning tool. Amidst the excitement, however, lay a point of discussion – grammar corrections.

A distinctive approach to chatbots using generative AI

As the founder of Linguineo, a voicebot company focused on language learning and open-ended conversations, I believe in the potential of AI to contribute to the greater good. But the explosion of generative AI chatbots raises pertinent questions about how to manage the darker side of simulating human intelligence. In this blog post, I’ll write about one specific approach to control the risk of chatbots and make conversational AI explainable.

The human in the loop, and why it’s a problem

Generative AI is sparking the democratization of AI and a workplace revolution. While AI is becoming ever more sophisticated, you can be certain that AI won’t replace humans. However, a human using AI might replace one who doesn’t. The “human in the loop” using AI as a productivity tool is going to have a huge advantage over those who don’t know how to use AI effectively.

Is ChatGPT just using next word prediction?

In the previous article we have explained how GPT itself (like GPT3 and GPT3.5) works, not ChatGPT (or GPT4). So, what’s the difference? Base models for generative text AI are always trained on tasks like “next word prediction” (or “masked language modelling”). This is because the data to learn this task is abundant: namely all

How are words represented in generative text AI?

In the article about artificial neural networks we gave some high level representation of what such a neural network is. The deeper you dig into these neural networks, the more details you encounter, like why it often makes sense to prune nodes, or that there are several kinds of neurons some of which keep different

What is artificial intelligence, what is machine learning and what is deep learning?

Artificial intelligence is the broader concept of machines being able to perform tasks that would require human intelligence. It’s just a computer program doing something intelligent. A system that uses if-then-else rules in order to make a decision, is also artificial intelligence. If you build a loan expert system consisting of thousands of rules like
