• Abstract: Since adaptive learning comes in many shapes and sizes, it is crucial to find out which adaptations can be meaningful for which areas of learning. Our work presents the result of an experiment conducted on an online platform for the acquisition of German spelling skills. We compared the traditional online learning platform to three different adaptive versions of the platform that implement machine learning-based student-facing interventions that show the personalized solution probability. We evaluate the different interventions with regard to the error rate, the number of early dropouts, and the users competency. Our results show that the number of mistakes decreased in comparison to the control group. Additionally, an increasing number of dropouts was found. We did not find any significant effects on the users competency. We conclude that student-facing adaptive learning environments are effective in improving a persons error rate and should be chosen wisely to have a motivating impact.

  We introduce a suite of models and evaluation methods we call AdapT. AToM is a new probabilistic model for adaptive teaching that jointly infers students' past beliefs and optimize for the correctness of future beliefs. Our results highlight both the difficulty of the adaptive teaching task and the potential of learned adaptive models for solving it.

  We study what model developers can do if they detect that some data was manipulated or incorrect. "Corrective Machine Unlearning" is the problem of mitigating the impact of data affected by unknown manipulations. We find most existing unlearning methods, including the gold-standard retraining-from-scratch, require most of the manipulated data to be identified.

  We consider whether and when attempting to discover how to personalize has a cost, such as if the adaptation to personal information can delay the adoption of policies that benefit all students. We explore these issues in the context of using multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms to learn a policy for what version of an educational technology to present to each student. We demonstrate that the inclusion of student characteristics for personalization can be beneficial when those characteristics are needed to learn the optimal action.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

  AI tools adopted in schools may not always be considered and studied products of the research community. We developed a reliable instrument to measure more holistic factors influencing teachers adoption of adaptive learning platforms in schools. Not generating any additional workload, in-creasing teacher ownership and trust, generating support mechanisms for help, and assuring that ethical issues are minimised are also essential for the adoption of AI in schools.

• 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.

• Efficient Estimation of Influence of a Training Instance [56.29080605123304]
  We propose an efficient method for estimating the influence of a training instance on a neural network model. Our method is inspired by dropout, which zero-masks a sub-network and prevents the sub-network from learning each training instance. We demonstrate that the proposed method can capture training influences, enhance the interpretability of error predictions, and cleanse the training dataset for improving generalization.

  We show how to adapt vision-based robotic manipulation policies to new variations by fine-tuning via off-policy reinforcement learning. This adaptation uses less than 0.2% of the data necessary to learn the task from scratch. We find that our approach of adapting pre-trained policies leads to substantial performance gains over the course of fine-tuning.
