TY - JOUR TI - Path of practical teaching of AI technology in animation majors AU - Zhang, J. AU - Guan, X. PY - 2026 DA - 2026/03/05/ JO - Discover Artificial Intelligence (Springer Nature) AB - This empirical study from Jilin Animation Institute, published in Discover Artificial Intelligence (Springer Nature, Vol. 6, article 315) on 5 March 2026, constructs and tests a practical teaching path integrating generative AI with a Transformer-based human pose estimation model for animation majors. Measured outcomes show the AI-integrated teaching group outperforming traditional instruction on both technical and artistic creation indicators. The study is one of very few empirical, animation-specific pedagogy papers in the literature and is admitted on that basis despite the Discover journal series being relatively young.
