Tutorial, Learning Analytics Summer Institute, Ann Arbor, June 2017 As algorithms pervade societal life, they’re moving from an arcane topic reserved for computer scientists and mathematicians, to the object of far wider academic and mainstream media attention
Regulation is a key word when the Nordic countries discuss the platform economy. The challenge is to secure good working conditions for the individual, a level playing field for businesses and tax revenues for the state. New technology is good, but the platforms must be developed in line with the labour market as a whole.
Not all learning analytics are the same. Discover how proactive learning analytics help you influence and improve ongoing learning processes by predicting the future and creating recommendations for action. Identify the 4 key elements that will determine the success of your analytics journey.
Growing interest in data and analytics in education, teaching, and learning raises the priority for increased, high-quality research into the models, methods, technologies, and impact of analytics. Two research communities – Educational Data Mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) have developed separately to address this need. This paper argues for increased and formal communication and collaboration between these communities in order to share research, methods, and tools for data mining and analysis in the service of developing both LAK and EDM fields.
The Spore creatures, likewise, used Metaballs, a geometry creation algorithm that could create smooth tubes along paths in 3D space. Other algorithms for filling spaces and paths are Voronoi patterns, Perlin/Simplex noise, triangulation algorithms, 3D extrusion or rotation, and the Diamond-square algorithm for fractal terrain. These algorithms are particularly well-suited for interactive generators, because the user can provide the input parameters for the generator.
The Lenna (or Lena) picture is one of the most widely used standard test images used for compression algorithms.'lena' or 'lenna' is a digitized Playboy centerfold, from November 1972. (Lenna is the spelling in Playboy, Lena is the Swedish spelling of the name.) Lena Soderberg (ne Sjööblom)
A collection of command-line tools for researchers in machine learning, data mining, and related fields. All of the functionality is also provided in a clean C++ class library
This paper presents a framework for modeling and optimizing max algorithms commonly used in crowdsourcing. The model allows tuning the number of human responses needed and the size of item sets to be compared for achieving a certain level of quality given time and budget constraints.
