Executive Summary : | AMMACHI labs has worked for over a decade now in the area of skills training and leveraging technologies to enhance human motor skills and soft skills. We propose to develop a multi-modal system architecture blending the sub-domains in Cognitive Sciences and Artificial Intelligence AI. We capture data from various sources, and analyse the data to better understand what are the key elements that characterize a particular skill, and how these key elements of the skill are effectively transferred. By effective transfer we mean, both aspects, the teaching and the learning of the skills. To achieve this, we have identified three main components that form the structure of the proposed work - Capture and identify the components that constitute human skills, both the physical and the cognitive aspects, to accurately determine skill level of learners - Develop models to understand what inhibits learning of a new skill based on the cognitive load theory CLT - Design cognitive training CT strategies based on the above understanding to provide effective instruction to learners for continuous skill improvement. |
