Machine Learning in Education
Improving student outcomes and accelerating research
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.

Benefits
Improve Student Outcomes
Machine learning is transforming how education institutions are tracking student performance and spotting issues. ML-powered personalized learning approaches are enabling educators to tailor learning pathways to individual students. Institutions are using ML to enhance the campus experience and enable self-service capabilities.
Increase Online Learning Reach
Traditionally, video lectures, discussion groups, and other high-velocity online learning content has been cost-prohibitive for transcription and translation at scale. Deep learning powered translation, transcription, and text-to-speech services provide accurate and low-cost options to make content accessible to students around the globe.
Accelerate Research and Discovery
Machine learning is moving out of the computer science department across all research disciplines. Research teams without deep data science and ML expertise can leverage ML to accelerate research and drive discovery. ML is improving content search and discovery for scientific and research document repositories.
Improve Operations
Attract the right students for admissions and accurately forecast enrollment to optimize capacity. Prevent fraud and protect student and staff safety both online and offline. Manage facilities and equipment more effectively through ML-powered predictive maintenance.
Machine Learning for Education
Decoding generative AI
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how organizations work—from operations to service delivery and everything in between. By the year 2030, the generative AI market is expected to reach $15.7 trillion in value, resulting in a 26% increase in global GDP.1. Register to learn how generative AI is reshaping the way organizations are reaching their audiences.
