• Abstract: We present a platform for the generation of educational activities oriented to teaching English as a foreign language. The different activities -- games and language practice exercises -- are strongly based on Natural Language Processing techniques. The platform offers the possibility of playing out-of-the-box games, generated from resources created semi-automatically and then manually curated. It can also generate games or exercises of greater complexity from texts entered by teachers, providing a stage of review and edition of the generated content before use. As a way of expanding the variety of activities in the platform, we are currently experimenting with image and text generation. In order to integrate them and improve the performance of other neural tools already integrated, we are working on migrating the platform to a more powerful server. In this paper we describe the development of our platform and its deployment for end users, discussing the challenges faced and how we overcame them, and also detail our future work plans.

  Video data captures important information about the physical world that is difficult to express in language. Video can serve as a unified interface that can absorb internet knowledge and represent diverse tasks. We identify major impact opportunities in domains such as robotics, self-driving, and science.

• Learning to Model the World with Language [100.76069091703505]
  To interact with humans and act in the world, agents need to understand the range of language that people use and relate it to the visual world. Our key idea is that agents should interpret such diverse language as a signal that helps them predict the future. We instantiate this in Dynalang, an agent that learns a multimodal world model to predict future text and image representations.

  We propose verbalizing long videos to generate descriptions in natural language, then performing video-understanding tasks on the generated story as opposed to the original video. Our method, despite being zero-shot, achieves significantly better results than supervised baselines for video understanding. To alleviate a lack of story understanding benchmarks, we publicly release the first dataset on a crucial task in computational social science on persuasion strategy identification.
