Social Opinion Formation and Decision Making Under Communication Trends
Ali H. Sayed, Mert Kayaalp, Virginia Bordignon
This work studies the learning process over social networks under partial and random information sharing. In traditional social learning models, agents exchange full belief information with each other while trying to infer the true state of nature. We stud ...
Piscataway2024Enhancing Procedural Writing Through Personalized Example Retrieval: A Case Study on Cooking Recipes
Antoine Bosselut, Jibril Albachir Frej, Paola Mejia Domenzain, Luca Mouchel, Tatjana Nazaretsky, Seyed Parsa Neshaei, Thiemo Wambsganss
Writing high-quality procedural texts is a challenging task for many learners. While example-based learning has shown promise as a feedback approach, a limitation arises when all learners receive the same content without considering their individual input ...
2024GANDALF: Graph-based transformer and Data Augmentation Active Learning Framework with interpretable features for multi-label chest Xray classification
Informative sample selection in an active learning (AL) setting helps a machine learning system attain optimum performance with minimum labeled samples, thus reducing annotation costs and boosting performance of computer-aided diagnosis systems in the pres ...
Amsterdam2024Learning From Heterogeneous Data Based on Social Interactions Over Graphs
Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon
This work proposes a decentralized architecture, where individual agents aim at solving a classification problem while observing streaming features of different dimensions and arising from possibly different distributions. In the context of social learning ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2023Efficient Online Clustering with Moving Costs
Volkan Cevher, Efstratios Panteleimon Skoulakis
In this work we consider an online learning problem, called Online k-Clustering with Moving Costs, at which a learner maintains a set of k facilities over T rounds so as to minimize the connection cost of an adversarially selected sequence of clients. The ...
2023Consistency of Inquiry Strategies Across Subsequent Activities in Different Domains
Interactive simulations encourage students to practice skills essential to understanding and learning sciences. Alas, inquiry learning with interactive simulations is challenging. In this paper, we seek to identify inquiry patterns across topics and evalua ...
2023Opinion Formation over Adaptive Networks
An adaptive network consists of multiple communicating agents, equipped with sensing and learning abilities that allow them to extract meaningful information from measurements. The objective of the network is to solve a global inference problem in a decent ...
EPFL2022Many Are The Ways to Learn: Identifying multi-modal behavioral profiles of collaborative learning in constructivist activities
Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal
Understanding how learners engage with learning technologies, and its relation with their learning, is crucial to the design of effective learning interventions. Assessing the learners’ state however, is non-trivial. Research suggests that performance is n ...
2021Exploring a Handwriting Programming Language for Educational Robots
Francesco Mondada, Taavet Kangur, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang, Vaios Papaspyros, Laura Mathex
Recently, introducing computer science and educational robots in compulsory education has received increasing attention. However, the use of screens in classrooms is often met with resistance, especially in primary school. To address this issue, this study ...
