Is it possible to teach workers while crowdsourcing classification tasks? Amongst the challenges: (a) workers have different (unknown) skills, competence, and learning rate to which the teaching must be adapted, (b) feedback on the workers’ progress is lim ...
We introduce a class of learning problems where the agent is presented with a series of tasks. Intuitively, if there is a relation among those tasks, then the information gained during execution of one task has value for the execution of another task. Cons ...
We revisit a recently developed iterative learning algorithm that enables systems to learn from a repeated operation with the goal of achieving high tracking performance of a given trajectory. The learning scheme is based on a coarse dynamics model of the ...
Teaching competence is an important skill for graduate students to acquire and is often considered a precursor to an academic career. In this study, we evaluated the effects of a multi-day teaching workshop on graduate teaching philosophies by surveying 20 ...
We consider the problem of learning robust models of robot motion through demonstration. An approach based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) is proposed to extract redundancies across multiple demonstrations, and build a ti ...
Mechanisms on automatic discovery of macro actions or skills in reinforcement learning methods are mainly focused on subgoal discovery methods. Among the proposed algorithms, those based on graph centrality measures demonstrate a high performance gain. In ...
One difficulty with the Swiss dual system is the gap between the practical work in the company and the theoretical teaching at school. In this article, we examine the case of carpenters. We observe that the school-workplace gap exists and materializes thro ...
Acute stress regulates different aspects of behavioral learning through the action of stress hormones and neuromodulators. Stress effects depend on stressor's type, intensity, timing, and the learning paradigm. In addition, genetic background of animals mi ...
The Geodetic Engineering Laboratory (TOPO) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) has introduced e- learning into its undergraduate topography course. The Centre for Research and Support of Training and its Technologies (CRAFT) has introduced ...
