Modeling and Analyzing Inquiry Strategies in Open-Ended Learning Environments

Modeling and predicting student learning in computer-based environments often relies solely on sequences of accuracy data. Previous research suggests that it does not only matter what we learn, but also how we learn. The detection and analysis of learning ...

Neural Correlates of Reinforcement Learning: eligibility trace, reward prediction error, novelty and surprise

He Xu

In reinforcement learning (RL), an agent makes sequential decisions to maximise the reward it can obtain from an environment. During learning, the actual and expected outcomes are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between ...

Social Learning With Partial Information Sharing

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work studies the learning abilities of agents sharing partial beliefs over social networks. The agents observe data that could have risen from one of several hypotheses and interact locally to decide whether the observations they are receiving have ri ...

Learning Graph Influence From Social Interactions

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

In social learning, agents form their opinions or beliefs about certain hypotheses by exchanging local information. This work considers the recent paradigm of weak graphs, where the network is partitioned into sending and receiving components, with the for ...

Distributed Learning over Networks under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This work presents and studies a distributed algorithm for solving optimization problems over networks where agents have individual costs to minimize subject to subspace constraints that require the minimizers across the network to lie in a low-dimensional ...

TIP: Tangible e-Ink Paper Manipulatives for Classroom Orchestration

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Ayberk Özgür, Hala Khodr, Alex The Duy Tran

While digital tools are more and more used in classrooms, teachers' common practice remains to use photocopied paper documents to share and collect learning exercises from their students. With the Tangible e-Ink Paper (TIP) system, we aim to explore the us ...

One-shot learning and eligibility traces in sequential decision making

Marco Philipp Lehmann

When humans or animals perform an action that led to a desired outcome, they show a tendency to repeat it. The mechanisms underlying learning from past experience and adapting future behavior are still not fully understood. In this thesis, I study how huma ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Sensory threshold neuromuscular electrical stimulation fosters motor imagery performance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Tiffany Corbet

Motor imagery (MI) has been largely studied as a way to enhance motor learning and to restore motor functions. Although it is agreed that users should emphasize kinesthetic imagery during MI, recordings of MI brain patterns are not sufficiently reliable fo ...
