TUMO Labs Students Put Their Skills to Work in Innovation Challenges /2022/08/tumo-labs-students-put-their-skills-to-work-in-innovation-challenges/ Tue, 02 Aug 2022 11:15:19 +0000 /?p=198351 A human digital twin that can anticipate a user鈥檚 intentions, wants, and needs using contextual information to provide personalized recommendations for next steps? Five students experimented with this concept and came up with a chatbot prototype during a four-month program from 麻豆原创 and Armenian educational initiative TUMO Labs. It aims to support university students to understand, utilize, and shape digital technologies.

With TUMO, provided 22 innovation challenges to explore emerging technologies and concepts, each associated with : augmented extended planning and analysis (xP&A), augmented access control, future of self-service, and future of asynchronous work. 麻豆原创 Innovation Center Network focuses on exploring new technologies through use cases to solve future problems. Innovation is an ongoing process that needs not only curiosity and determination but also inventive ideas and out-of-the-box thinking. It was precisely this fresh thinking and unusual approaches that made working with the TUMO students so interesting for both sides.

鈥淔or me, it was a great experience working with artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing, with the help of which we were able to find interesting insights from user conversations,鈥 said Sasun Tadevosyan, one of the five students developing the chatbot. 鈥淔urther research and improvements will help to create a virtual assistant to automate routine work.”

Sasun and her team built the chatbot as part of the challenge. Here, the students were asked to explore how user contextual data and the concept of human digital twins can be leveraged in a privacy-preserving, predictive manner to improve access control and authorization experiences. A digital twin could eventually help humans anticipate these access requirements and gather the necessary information to facilitate access, increasing productivity and enabling quicker business decisions.

For their chatbot, Sasun and team evaluated chat messages between two users who want to organize a meeting and extracted insights about meeting details using a rule engine. The chatbot helps set up the call and automatically creates authorizations and access to the meeting as well as relevant documents that will be shared.

This is a great example of how digital assistants can make life easier by automating daily routines, like in this case scheduling a meeting and making sure everyone has the necessary access rights to collaborate more easily.

During the four months, experts from 麻豆原创 Innovation Center Network monitored the progress of all challenges and were in constant exchange with the participants to support if needed. Apart from solving the challenge, working with TUMO Labs experts helped strengthen the students鈥 soft skills, and support from 麻豆原创 University Alliances provided all students with access to 麻豆原创 learning resources.

鈥淲e learned to work as a team and under pressure. We got problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, and public speaking skills,鈥 recapped the team around Ani Galstyan that worked on the future of asynchronous work.

This group of five students was challenged to examine how digital avatars are used in various fields today. They created a Web site to showcase different possibilities to implement digital avatars in different fields such as business, the gaming industry, and the military. Plus, they added features to help users create their personal avatar. During their research, Ani and team learned how digital avatars can be a valuable addition in healthcare, as they could eventually lead to a more holistic understanding of the human body to predict and prevent possible side effects before working with real human beings.
