This document summarizes a research approach to predicting quality flaws in Wikipedia articles using positive and unlabeled learning. It discusses challenges in quality assessment of user-generated content and prior work on identifying featured/high-quality Wikipedia articles and detecting quality flaws. The proposed approach uses a small set of labeled positive examples and a large unlabeled set, applying a naive Bayes classifier followed by an SVM to iteratively select negative examples from the unlabeled set. The document outlines the research questions around classifier and parameter selection and presents example results showing the approach outperforms existing benchmarks on certain quality flaw predictions.
Human Being Character Analysis from Their Social Networking ProfilesBiswaranjan Samal
In this paper, characteristics of human beings obtained from profile statement present in their social
networking profile status are analyzed in terms of introvert, extrovert or ambivert. Recently, Machine learning
plays a vital role in classifying the human characteristics. The user profile status is collected from LinkedIn, a
popular professional social networking application. Oauth2.0 protocol is used for login into the LinkedIn and
web scrapping using JavaScript is used for information extraction of the registered users. Then, Word Net: a
lexical database is used for forming the word clusters such as: extrovert and introvert using semi-supervised
learning techniques. K-nearest neighbor classification algorithm is finally considered for classifying the profiles
into various available categories. The results obtained in the proposed method are encouraging with good
accuracy
The explosion of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the recent years creates the demand for scalable, automatic approaches to process and evaluate OERs, with the end goal of identifying and recommending the most suitable educational materials for learners. We focus on building models to find the characteristics and features involved in context-agnostic engagement (i.e. population-based), a seldom researched topic compared to other contextualised and personalised approaches that focus more on individual learner engagement. Learner engagement, is arguably a more reliable measure than popularity/number of views, is more abundant than user ratings and has also been shown to be a crucial component in achieving learning outcomes. In this work, we explore the idea of building a predictive model for population-based engagement in education. We introduce a novel, large dataset of video lectures for predicting context-agnostic engagement and propose both cross-modal and modality-specific feature sets to achieve this task. We further test different strategies for quantifying learner engagement signals. We demonstrate the use of our approach in the case of data scarcity. Additionally, we perform a sensitivity analysis of the best performing model, which shows promising performance and can be easily integrated into an educational recommender system for OERs.

A Review on Neural Network Question Answering Systemsijaia
In recent years neural networks (NN) are being used increasingly on Question Answering (QA) systems and
they seem to be successful in addressing different issues and challenges that these systems exhibit. This
paper presents a review to summarize the state of the art in question answering systems implemented using
neural networks. It identifies the main research topics and considers the most relevant research challenges.
Furthermore, it analyzes contributions, limitations, evaluation techniques, and directions proposed for
future research.
Temporal learning analytics in learning designQuan Nguyen
Learning analytics has the potential to make the temporal dimensions of learning processes more visible using fine-grained proxies of how and when students engage with online learning activities. In this talk, Quan Nguyen will demonstrate the extent to which students actually follow the course timeline and the subsequent effect on their academic performance
Nowadays, we are constantly interacting with computers, mobiles and other wearable devices. These interactions leave behind the digital footprint of the user. This data is used with different goals in the so-called Big Data field to predict customer behaviour in marketing and health research. Learning Analytics tackles this challenge in the Technology Enhanced Learning field.
George Siemens defines Learning Analytics as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of the data to understand and optimise learning. In this context, we find a variety of studies that process the data different. Some studies implement complex algorithms and display the outcome to the user. Others rely on simpler approaches to process the data but enabling the user to explore the data with understandable, comprehensive and usable visualisations. Users can draw conclusions by their own and, with this information, steer their own learning process. This thesis is contextualised in the latter and intends to help students to become autonomous and lead their own educational process.
This dissertation presents the work in the scope of four research questions: 1) RQ1 - What characteristics of learning activities can be visualised usefully for learners?; 2) RQ2 - What characteristics of learning activities can be visualised usefully for teachers?; 3) RQ3 - What are the affordances of and user problems with tracking data automatically and manually?; and 4) RQ4 - What are the key components of a simple and flexible architecture to collect, store and manage learning activity?.
The exploration of these research questions include the deployment of: 1) three different learning dashboard designs deployed in real courses with 128 students participating in the evaluations; 2) the analysis of two Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) with 56876 enrolled students; and 3) the deployment of an architecture in two real case studies, including a European project with more than 15 scheduled pilots.
Manual and automatic trackers have benefits and drawbacks. For example, manual trackers respect the user privacy in blended learning courses but the data provided by the students is not trusted by their fellow students. Automatic trackers are more accurate, but they do not track the activity outside of the computer, and, therefore, do not provide the complete picture that students demand.
This research also identifies three components to deploy a simple and flexible architecture to collect data in open learning environments: 1) a set of simple services to push and pull the learning traces; 2) a simple data schema to ensure completeness and findability of the data; and 3) independent components to collect the learning activity.

Student self-assessment of the development of advanced scientific thinking sk...Kirsten Zimbardi
Presented at the International Union of Physiological Societies' Teaching Workshop 2013 (Bristol, UK).
Abstract:
We have developed three vertically-integrated inquiry-based practical courses for large cohorts (500-900 students) of early stage physiology students [1-3]. Video recordings of 22 students participating in inquiry classes were annotated by students, highlighting instances of scientific thinking. Most scientific thinking events occurred during development of hypotheses and experimental plans, and during analysis and interpretation of experimental data. However, to their regret, students rarely demonstrated scientific thinking whilst conducting experiments and collecting data. Videos and annotations will be presented; workshop participants will be encouraged to add annotations, to explore how novices and experts critically evaluate evidence of scientific thinking in inquiry-based classes.

Research in Feminist Engineering
The Research in Feminist Engineering (RIFE) group is a research group at Purdue University that blends feminist theory and methods with engineering education research. Our job as researchers is to think creatively about gender and engineering education, and to think about, write, and teach in ways that will result in a change in how engineering education is done. To that end, we ask big questions, undertake ambitious projects, and employ appropriate rigorous research methods. We will introduce to the audience some of our different research projects and processes, and explain why we consider our work -- diverse as it is -- to be feminist. We look forward to having the audience participate in some lively discussion. And we're bringing snacks.
The RIFE group consists of: Dina Banerjee, Jordana Hoegh, Katie Morley, Lindsey Nelson, Ranjani Rao, Saranya Srinivasan, and Alice Pawley.

Conclusions
RQ#1: NB + SVM
RQ#2: Some unlabelled sets are more promising
RBF kernel: U6 subsample → 60% of the flaws.
Linear kernel: U4 subsample → 60% of the flaws
In general, Ui.j, i=1..10, j=2 or j=3 → best results.
RQ#3: Method for selecting RNs as true negatives
1 > 2 > 3 > 0, “>” means “better than”.
17. Motivation State of the Art PU Learning Research questions Results Conclusions
Conclusions
RQ#4: SVM kernels and parameters
Linear and RBF kernels' best results are statistically
significant than the benchmarks.[8]
RBF is statistically better than Linear kernel.
The optimistic setting in [8] → not statistically
significant than Linear and RBF best results .
High penalty value for the error term (C) and very
low γ values.
Semisupervised methods seem very promising.
