Join NYU-LEARN and Drs. Paul Prinsloo and Ravi Shroff in an engaging conversation on how we can productively navigate the intersection of learning analytics and equity and consider the role of educational data science as a tool for social justice.
Perspective is an API that makes it easier to host better conversations. The API uses machine learning models to score the perceived impact a comment might have on a conversation. Developers and publishers can use this score to give realtime feedback to commenters or help moderators do their job, or allow readers to more easily find relevant information, as illustrated in two experiments below. Our first model identifies whether a comment could be perceived as “toxic” to a discussion.
