There are currently few datasets appropriate for training and evaluating models for non-goal-oriented dialogue systems (chatbots); and equally problematic, there is currently no standard procedure for evaluating such models beyond the classic Turing test.
The aim of our competition is therefore to establish a concrete scenario for testing chatbots that aim to engage humans, and become a standard evaluation tool in order to make such systems directly comparable.
This research paper explains how increasing and improving practitioners’ knowledge of the importance and value of speech, language and communication skills contributes to advancement of educational, social and emotional competences; focus was on development for children in the Early Years. Proposed is the necessity to embed speech, language and communication development in practice, and the provision of a language and communication rich environment is considered a key strategy to influencing progress. The paper describes a research project that was subsequently evaluated using a multiple-method approach to afford a comprehensive analysis of findings. Outcomes were to highlight necessity for improvement of knowledge of less experienced practitioners, and added reinforcement for those who were relatively proficient; further, it was suggested that effective mentoring was required to maintain wide-ranging and continual growth of practitioners’ expertise. Development of confidence in subject knowledge was also essential in providing a child-initiated approach to learning; this, it claims, would enhance the fostering of a learning community which would place greater importance on the requirement for enhancement of speech, language and communication skills.
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
