Interpretable AI to Understand Early Effective and Ineffective Programming Behaviours from CS1 Learners (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pereira, F. D., Oliveira, E. H. T. D., Oliveira, D. B. F. D., Carvalho, L. S. G. D., & Cristea, A. I. (2021, April). Interpretable AI to Understand Early Effective and Ineffective Programming Behaviours from CS1 Learners. Presented at Anais Estendidos do I Simpósio Brasileiro de Educação em Computação (EDUCOMP Estendido 2021), Online

Building predictive models to estimate the learner performance in the beginning of CS1 courses is essential in education to allow early interventions. However, the educational literature notes the lack of studies on early learner behaviours that can...

Improving and benchmarking of algorithms for Γ-maximin, Γ-maximax and interval dominance (2021)
Journal Article
Nakharutai, N., Troffaes, M. C., & Caiado, C. C. (2021). Improving and benchmarking of algorithms for Γ-maximin, Γ-maximax and interval dominance. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning: Uncertainty in Intelligent Systems, 133, 95-115. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2021.03.005

Γ-maximin, Γ-maximax and interval dominance are familiar decision criteria for making decisions under severe uncertainty, when probability distributions can only be partially identified. One can apply these three criteria by solving sequences of line... Read More about Improving and benchmarking of algorithms for Γ-maximin, Γ-maximax and interval dominance.

Towards Designing Profitable Courses: Predicting Student Purchasing Behaviour in MOOCs (2021)
Journal Article
Alshehri, M., Alamri, A., Cristea, A. I., & Stewart, C. D. (2021). Towards Designing Profitable Courses: Predicting Student Purchasing Behaviour in MOOCs. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 31(2), 215-233. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-021-00246-2

Since their ‘official’ emergence in 2012 (Gardner and Brooks 2018), massive open online courses (MOOCs) have been growing rapidly. They offer low-cost education for both students and content providers; however, currently there is a very low level of...
