Duolingo is the popular, free language education platform that has motivated more than 200 million people worldwide to learn new languages. In his talk, Duolingo CEO and Co-founder Luis von Ahn will describe the background of how Duolingo started, the features that have made it become so popular (including AI-powered chatbots), and how the company uses data from billions of exercises to measure and continually optimize the language-learning process.

«I build systems that combine humans and computers to solve large-scale problems that neither can solve alone. I call this Human Computation, but others sometimes call it Crowdsourcing. Some of my past projects include: CAPTCHA, The ESP Game (acquired by Google), GWAP, and reCAPTCHA (acquired by Google).
I'm currently working on Duolingo, named Apple's iPhone App of the Year, and Google Play's Best of the Best of 2013 and 2014»
