Machine Learning for Supply Chains
In this course, we'll make predictions on product usage and calculate optimal safety stock storage. We'll start with a time series of shoe sales across multiple stores on three different continents. To begin, we'll look for unique insights and other interesting things we can find in the data by performing groupings and comparing products within each store. Then, we'll use a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to make predictions on future sales. In addition to making predictions, we'll analyze the provided statistics (such as p-score) to judge the viability of using the SARIMA model to make predictions.
Introduction to Machine Learning in Sports Analytics
Sports analytics has emerged as a field of research with increasing popularity propelled, in part, by the real-world success illustrated by the best-selling book and motion picture, Moneyball. Analysis of team and player performance data has continued to revolutionize the sports industry on the field, court, and ice as well as in living rooms among fantasy sports players and online sports gambling. Drawing from real data sets in Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Hockey League (NHL), the English Premier League (EPL-soccer), and the Indian Premier League (IPL-cricket), you'll learn how to construct predictive models to anticipate team and player performance. You'll also replicate the success of Moneyball using real statistical models, use the Linear Probability Model (LPM) to anticipate categorical outcomes variables in sports contests, explore how teams collect and organize an athlete's performance data with wearable technologies, and how to apply machine learning in a sports analytics context. This introduction to the field of sports analytics is designed for sports managers, coaches, physical therapists, as well as sports fans who want to understand the science behind athlete performance and game prediction.

Inverse Multiobjective Optimization Through Online Learning
Dong, Chaosheng, Wang, Yijia, Zeng, Bo
We study the problem of learning the objective functions or constraints of a multiobjective decision making model, based on a set of sequentially arrived decisions. In particular, these decisions might not be exact and possibly carry measurement noise or are generated with the bounded rationality of decision makers. In this paper, we propose a general online learning framework to deal with this learning problem using inverse multiobjective optimization. More precisely, we develop two online learning algorithms with implicit update rules which can handle noisy data. Numerical results show that both algorithms can learn the parameters with great accuracy and are robust to noise.

An AI-based platform to enhance and personalize e-learning
Researchers at Universidad Autรณnoma de Madrid have recently created an innovative, AI-powered platform that could enhance remote learning, allowing educators to securely monitor students and verify that they are attending compulsory online classes or exams. An initial prototype of this platform, called Demo-edBB, is set to be presented at the AAAI-23 Conference on Artificial Intelligence in February 2022, in Washington, and a version of the paper is available on the arXiv preprint server. "Our investigation group, the BiDA-Lab at Universidad Autรณnoma de Madrid, has substantial experience with biometric signals and systems, behavior analysis and AI applications, with over 300 hundred published papers in last two decades," Roberto Daza Garcia, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore. "Over the past few years, virtual education has grown significantly, becoming the main foundation of one on the most important educational institutions and generating new valuable opportunities for learning. Our group has thus recently been working on new technologies for e-learning, ultimately leading to the development of a platform that combines biometric and behavior analysis tools."
A Learned Simulation Environment to Model Student Engagement and Retention in Automated Online Courses
Imstepf, N., Senn, S., Fortin, A., Russell, B., Horn, C.
We developed a simulator to quantify the effect of exercise ordering on both student engagement and retention. Our approach combines the construction of neural network representations for users and exercises using a dynamic matrix factorization method. We further created a machine learning models of success and dropout prediction. As a result, our system is able to predict student engagement and retention based on a given sequence of exercises selected. This opens the door to the development of versatile reinforcement learning agents which can substitute the role of private tutoring in exam preparation.
TensorFlow: Data and Deployment
Bringing a machine learning model into the real world involves a lot more than just modeling. This Specialization will teach you how to navigate various deployment scenarios and use data more effectively to train your model. In this third course, you will: - Perform streamlined ETL tasks using TensorFlow Data Services - Load different datasets and custom feature vectors using TensorFlow Hub and TensorFlow Data Services APIs - Create and use pre-built pipelines for generating highly reproducible I/O pipelines for any dataset - Optimize data pipelines that become a bottleneck in the training process - Publish your own datasets to the TensorFlow Hub library and share standardized data with researchers and developers around the world This Specialization builds upon our TensorFlow in Practice Specialization. If you are new to TensorFlow, we recommend that you take the TensorFlow in Practice Specialization first. To develop a deeper, foundational understanding of how neural networks work, we recommend that you take the Deep Learning Specialization.

Insights into undergraduate pathways using course load analytics
Borchers, Conrad, Pardos, Zachary A.
Compared to K-12, US institutions of higher education, particularly four-year universities, give students a high amount of elective course choice. This choice comes with unique challenges that can inhibit their learning path, such as the choice to overload on credit hours causing early undergraduate dropout among older students with prior vocational training and completed degrees [22]. Conversely, low enrollment levels have also been found to be associated with worse educational outcomes, potentially due to a lack of financial and academic support [5]. These findings, though seemingly contradictory, suggest that semester workload may play an important role in explaining the complicated story of student success in higher education. However, recent work has found that credit hours is not a suitable proxy for course workload, as it captures only 6% of the variance in student reported course load compared to 36% captured by LMS features [36]. In this paper, we introduce course load analytics (CLA) as a machine learning approach to producing metrics about course workload relevant to student course selection. This work is the first to predict course load at scale, generalizing to over 10,000 courses at a large public institution and going beyond time load considerations by incorporating more holistic measures such as mental effort and psychological stress. Our findings suggest that the discrepancy between anticipated course load (i.e., as calculated by credit hours) and actual course load (i.e., as estimated by CLA) may be a significant factor in program stop-out.
