An AI-Based Adaptive Learning Platform for Multilingual and Low-Resource Educational Contexts: A Case Study on Nigeria

Aug 16, 2026

This study addresses the scarcity of personalized learning and linguistic support in low-resource multilingual education by developing an AI-adaptive platform for Nigerian Pidgin. Through instruction tuning and multi-level quantization of large language models, we propose an experimentally validated adaptation framework for low-resource languages, introducing a novel dual-validation mechanism combining native-speaker cultural assessment with automated metrics. Our research elucidates the trade-offs between quantization bit-width, semantic quality, and inference latency, demonstrating that this approach significantly reduces computational overhead with minimal pedagogical degradation. Ultimately, this work enables the scalable deployment of intelligent educational systems that effectively balance cultural appropriateness with computational feasibility in resource-constrained settings.

EmotionAI: A Privacy-Preserving Computational Intelligence Pipeline for Speech-Emotion-Grounded Conversational Analysis

Jun 22, 2026

This work addresses the privacy risks and manual effort inherent in traditional interview-based emotion analysis by proposing the first fully on-device, end-to-end emotion-driven conversational analysis framework. The system integrates speaker diarization, Whisper-based automatic speech recognition (ASR), and a wav2vec2-based emotion classifier to generate time-stamped emotional evidence—all processed locally without internet connectivity. A tri-model ensemble of local large language models then performs citation-constrained question-answering over this evidence. Evaluated on four subsets of RAVDESS, the approach achieves 48.8% emotion classification accuracy, significantly outperforming baseline methods. The entire pipeline runs on CPU with an average latency of 157 seconds (real-time factor 1.33), offering strong privacy guarantees, auditability, and cross-corpus emotional evidence integration, while candidly acknowledging its transfer limitations and the necessity of human validation boundaries.
