• Abstract: Recently, e-learning platforms have grown as a place where students can post doubts (as a snap taken with smart phones) and get them resolved in minutes. However, the significant increase in the number of student-posted doubts with high variance in quality on these platforms not only presents challenges for teachers' navigation to address them but also increases the resolution time per doubt. Both are not acceptable, as high doubt resolution time hinders the students learning progress. This necessitates ways to automatically identify if there exists a similar doubt in repository and then serve it to the teacher as the plausible solution to validate and communicate with the student. Supervised learning techniques (like Siamese architecture) require labels to identify the matches, which is not feasible as labels are scarce and expensive. In this work, we, thus, developed a label-agnostic doubt matching paradigm based on the representations learnt via self-supervised technique. Building on prior theoretical insights of BYOL (bootstrap your own latent space), we propose custom BYOL which combines domain-specific augmentation with contrastive objective over a varied set of appropriately constructed data views. Results highlighted that, custom BYOL improves the top-1 matching accuracy by approximately 6\% and 5\% as compared to both BYOL and supervised learning instances, respectively. We further show that both BYOL-based learning instances performs either on par or better than human labeling.

  Previous semi-supervised learning methods typically match model predictions of different data-augmented views in a single-level interaction manner. We propose a novel SSL method called DualMatch, in which the class prediction jointly invokes feature embedding in a dual-level interaction manner. In the standard SSL setting, the proposal achieves 9% error reduction compared with SOTA methods, even in a more challenging class-imbalanced setting, the proposal can still achieve 6% error reduction.

• Exploring Bayesian Deep Learning for Urgent Instructor Intervention Need in MOOC Forums [58.221459787471254]
  Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become a popular choice for e-learning thanks to their great flexibility. Due to large numbers of learners and their diverse backgrounds, it is taxing to offer real-time support. With the large volume of posts and high workloads for MOOC instructors, it is unlikely that the instructors can identify all learners requiring intervention. This paper explores for the first time Bayesian deep learning on learner-based text posts with two methods: Monte Carlo Dropout and Variational Inference.
