MOOCRep: A Unified Pre-trained Embedding of MOOC Entities

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Many machine learning models have been built to tackle information overload issues on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) platforms. These models rely on learning powerful representations of MOOC entities. However, they suffer from the problem of scarce expert label data. To overcome this problem, we propose to learn pre-trained representations of MOOC entities using abundant unlabeled data from the structure of MOOCs which can directly be applied to the downstream tasks. While existing pre-training methods have been successful in NLP areas as they learn powerful textual representation, their models do not leverage the richer information about MOOC entities. This richer information includes the graph relationship between the lectures, concepts, and courses along with the domain knowledge about the complexity of a concept. We develop MOOCRep, a novel method based on Transformer language model trained with two pre-training objectives : 1) graph-based objective to capture the powerful signal of entities and relations that exist in the graph, and 2) domain-oriented objective to effectively incorporate the complexity level of concepts. Our experiments reveal that MOOCRep's embeddings outperform state-of-the-art representation learning methods on two tasks important for education community, concept pre-requisite prediction and lecture recommendation.


20 Things Every Data Scientist On Coursera To Consider

#artificialintelligence

Data science courses contain math--no avoiding that! This course is designed to teach learners the basic math you will need in order to be successful in almost any data science math course and was created for learners who have basic math skills but may not have taken algebra or pre-calculus. Data Science Math Skills introduces the core math that data science is built upon, with no extra complexity, introducing unfamiliar ideas and math symbols one-at-a-time. Science is undergoing a data explosion, and astronomy is leading the way. Modern telescopes produce terabytes of data per observation, and the simulations required to model our observable Universe push supercomputers to their limits.


Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Classroom

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is finally here and most of us are already actively using it in our day-to-day life (even without knowing it). To prepare our future generation in order to harness these technologies, people need to understand how they can use AI first of all! Only then can they use it to facilitate learning and solve real-world problems. The course is aimed at all those people, irrespective of their profession, who would like to learn how to make active use of AI. No prior knowledge is assumed, no expertise in any related area is required because we will start by introducing the very basic concepts.

Machine Learning Pipelines with Azure ML Studio

#artificialintelligence

In this project-based course, you are going to build an end-to-end machine learning pipeline in Azure ML Studio, all without writing a single line of code! This course uses the Adult Income Census data set to train a model to predict an individual's income. It predicts whether an individual's annual income is greater than or less than $50,000. The estimator used in this project is a Two-Class Boosted Decision Tree classifier. Some of the features used to train the model are age, education, occupation, etc.
