Access Quality Educational Resources with EduBridge: Developer Spotlight

New technologies are rapidly emerging, from artificial intelligence to quantum computing, but many students in underprivileged areas do not have access to the Internet.

Adithya Vardan, in his blog, proposed a solution for such problems - the EduBridge application. Adithya, along with his team members, designed this application to enable students in remote areas to access state-of-the-art AI-powered educational resources through Short Message Service (SMS) without an internet connection. This application is developed using Intel® Extension for PyTorch* and Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud.

How does the application work?

1. The user can directly type the query or send an image captured for the query. 
2. The query is sent as an SMS to a cloud-based service connected to the deployed model.
3. Phi-2 model will process the query and generate a response.
4. The response to the query will be sent as an SMS to the user’s mobile device.
