What does it take to build new AI technologies for education? Dr. Amelia Kelly, chief technology officer at SoapBox Labs, shares her experience with us in this interview. Recent progress in natural language processing (NLP) has been monumental in enabling innovative new technologies for facilitating learning. However, many of these NLP advances are limited to text, and bridging the gap between speech and text poses numerous nontrivial challenges-especially when we're working with children. In this interview, we sat down with Dr. Kelly to chat about her work at SoapBox Labs, a Dublin tech company transforming the landscape of speech-centered educational technology for kids. This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
