Evaluating the Impact of Learner Control and Interactivity in Conversational Tutoring Systems for Persuasive Writing
Conversational tutoring systems (CTSs) offer a promising avenue for individualized learning support, especially in domains like persuasive writing. Although these systems have the potential to enhance the learning process, the specific role of learner cont ...
2024How to support students to develop coaching and peer teaching skills
Siara Ruth Isaac, Joelyn de Lima
Students learn more when they are actively engaged in the learning process. While hands-on activities, labs and projects are moments when students are active, the learning benefits can be amplified with coaching strategies. This activity will enable studen ...
EPFL2024Generative AI-Enabled Conversational Interaction to Support Self-Directed Learning Experiences in Transversal Computational Thinking
Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Adrian Christian Holzer, Abdessalam Ouaazki
As computational thinking (CT) becomes increasingly acknowledged as an important skill in education, self-directed learning (SDL) emerges as a key strategy for developing this capability. The advent of generative AI (GenAI) conversational agents has disrup ...
2024Social 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 ...
Piscataway2024Unveiling the complexity of learning and decision-making
Reinforcement learning (RL) is crucial for learning to adapt to new environments. In RL, the prediction error is an important component that compares the expected and actual rewards. Dopamine plays a critical role in encoding these prediction errors. In my ...
EPFL2024Involvement of prelimbic cortex neurons and related circuits in the acquisition of a cooperative learning by pairs of rats
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Elias Georges Gebara, Ana del Rocio Conde Moro
Social behaviors such as cooperation are crucial for mammals. A deeper knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cooperation can be beneficial for people suffering from pathologies with impaired social behavior. Our aim was to study the brain activit ...
Springer2024Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024Quantifying the Unknown: Data-Driven Approaches and Applications in Energy Systems
In light of the challenges posed by climate change and the goals of the Paris Agreement, electricity generation is shifting to a more renewable and decentralized pattern, while the operation of systems like buildings is increasingly electrified. This calls ...
EPFL2024GANDALF: 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 ...
Amsterdam2024A Bebras Computational Thinking (ABC-Thinking) program for primary school: Evaluation using the competent computational thinking test
Bebras tasks are considered to develop Computational Thinking (CT) and are currently used for this purpose in many studies. However, the relationship between Bebras tasks and CT is recent and, given the scarcity of validated instruments for assessing CT th ...
