    • QUOTE: Volley is on a mission to computationally understand and teach the world’s academic knowledge within 10 years. Currently we’re building a “magic lens to learn anything” or “personal learning assistant in your pocket” that layers proprietary ML and NLP over existing content to extract important concepts, infer relationships between them, and map them to targeted resources from across the web.

      Educational content is unique in that it is richly structured; calibrated to real-world curricular standards; and latently embeds topic and segmentation data from centuries of instruction and writing. This results in precompiled corpora of domain knowledge, some of which is tagged. The breadth and implications of the datasets you’ll be learning on are really damn exciting. You will collaborate with an elite group of ML specialists, ontology engineers, and designers to discover meaning in the vast amounts of language in textbooks, open educational resources (OERs), and elsewhere, impacting millions of learners around the world.
