Finding Paths for Explainable MOOC Recommendation: A Learner Perspective

Jibril Albachir Frej, Tatjana Nazaretsky

The increasing availability of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has created a necessity for personalized course recommendation systems. These systems often combine neural networks with Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to achieve richer representations of learners ...

Multi-armed Bandits in Action

Farnood Salehi

Making decisions is part and parcel of being human. Among a set of actions, we want to choose the one that has the highest reward. But the uncertainty of the outcome prevents us from always making the right decision. Making decisions under uncertainty can ...

Unified and Scalable Incremental Recommenders with Consumed Item Packs

Rachid Guerraoui, Rhicheek Patra

Recommenders personalize the web content using collaborative filtering to relate users (or items). This work proposes to unify user-based, item-based and neural word embeddings types of recommenders under a single abstraction for their input, we name Consu ...

Applications of Approximate Learning and Inference for Probabilistic Models

Young Jun Ko

We develop approximate inference and learning methods for facilitating the use of probabilistic modeling techniques motivated by applications in two different areas. First, we consider the ill-posed inverse problem of recovering an image from an underdeter ...
