ABSTRACT: We consider intrinsic-dimension estimation for data supported on an unknown d-dimensional submanifold in Euclidean space.

Op iets meer dan twee jaar tijd is generatieve AI in het onderwijs niet meer weg te denken. Leerlingen gebruiken het om huiswerk te maken, handboeken samen te vatten, oefentoetsen op te stellen, eindwerken te schrijven, enzovoort. Leerkrachten moeten zich ondertussen razendsnel aanpassen.
