Finding Paths for Explainable MOOC Recommendation: A Learner Perspective

Tatjana Nazaretsky, Tanja Christina Käser Jacober, Jibril Albachir Frej

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 ...

Revisiting adversarial training for the worst-performing class

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick

Despite progress in adversarial training (AT), there is a substantial gap between the topperforming and worst-performing classes in many datasets. For example, on CIFAR10, the accuracies for the best and worst classes are 74% and 23%, respectively. We argu ...

A dynamic attractor network model of memory formation, reinforcement and forgetting

Wulfram Gerstner, Chiara Gastaldi, Marta Boscaglia

Empirical evidence shows that memories that are frequently revisited are easy to recall, and that familiar items involve larger hippocampal representations than less familiar ones. In line with these observations, here we develop a modelling approach to pr ...

Simulated Learners in Educational Technology: A Systematic Literature Review and a Turing-like Test

Tanja Christina Käser Jacober

Simulation is a powerful approach that plays a significant role in science and technology. Computational models that simulate learner interactions and data hold great promise for educational technology as well. Amongst others, simulated learners can be use ...

Emergency adaptation to distance learning: no magic bullet, but where there’s a will, there’s a way

Caroline Pulfrey

Whilst, in many countries, the sudden enforced transfer to large-scale distance learning in state schools as a result of COVID_19 lockdown measures caused turmoil, it also provided an unprecedented opportunity to understand more about key factors associate ...

Educational Technologies for Vocational Education. Experiences as Digital Clay

Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis

This book summarises 15 years of research (2007-2021) on the exploitation of digital technologies for VET. In other words, our activities started the same year as the first iPhone was launched! Four research groups formed the leading house on the topic, na ...

Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...

Multi-Centroid Hyperdimensional Computing Approach for Epileptic Seizure Detection

David Atienza Alonso, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Una Pale

Long-term monitoring of patients with epilepsy presents a challenging problem from the engineering perspective of real-time detection and wearable devices design. It requires new solutions that allow continuous unobstructed monitoring and reliable detectio ...

Adaptive Social Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work proposes a novel strategy for social learning by introducing the critical feature of adaptation. In social learning, several distributed agents update continually their belief about a phenomenon of interest through: i) direct observation of strea ...

Designing Tools and Activities for Educational Robotics in Online Learning

Evgeniia Bonnet, Christian Giang

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent school closures created several challenges for teachers and students. From one day to the next, teachers had to rethink their educational activities and move to remote learning. Especially with regard to educational ...
