Humanities students will be tasked with the teaching of teaching “artificial intelligence” (AI), which is typically considered as being within the exclusive sphere of engineering stiudies, and they are gaining attention as they show the possibilities to create a new career field.

CNU will hire 50 students from the College of Humanities and students majoring in Korean Language and Literature for a hands-on project that collects and generates a corpus for AI speech recognition applications.

AI speech-based applications will have a decisive impact in the improvement of intelligence, such as ‘how much natural language processing and dialogue pattern data is generated and continuously learned.’ Participants of the project will make a corpus that formulates a list of words and clauses processed and stored by the computer, in the process of teaching artificial intelligence.

Primarily, they aim to create more than 60,000 conversations that AI can exchange, assuming the situation of finding videos and songs.

This attracts attention to the role of humanities studies in the process of science and technology development during the 4th Industrial Revolution, as well as the prospect of forming a new career area.

Previously, the LINC + Initiative (Professor Kim Jae-Kook), together with the Department of Korean Language and Literature and the BK21 + Group of Creating Values and Cultivating Talents through Local Language Resources,  exchanged the Memorandum of Understanding with Pole To Win Korea Co., Ltd. (Director: Park Young-mok) on October 14.
