Google this week released an updated version of a mobile learning application called Socratic. The company bought the application (mobile learning app) last year.
The updated application has new features based on machine learning, and its release coincides with the start of the new school year, along with other initiatives Google for Education.
The Socratic app aims to help both high school students and college students.
If they need help answering a question, they can use the Socratic app by asking aloud or taking a picture of a question or design.
The application will then find relevant material from across the web.
If a student is trying to solve a complex problem, the application will use algorithms to identify the underlying concepts that may need further explanation.
For example, as Google shows in a Publication on her blog (see gif above), a student could photograph a quadratic equation and get help understanding how to simplify square roots.
The app also offers more than 1.000 theme guides covering school and university topics. Just give the keywords, or the appropriate photo and the application will offer you "on the plate" all the relevant topics that exist on the web.
However, every time you work with the application, it continues to learn and store information using machine learning.
The updated application is now available for iOS devices and will be available for Android from next fall.
