Interdisciplinary cooperations are sometimes viewed sceptically as they often involve non-standard problem settings and interactions with researchers and practitioners from other domains. Thus, interdisciplinary projects may require more dedication and engagement than working on off-the-shelf problems and downloadable data sets. In this talk, I will argue that machine learning is intrinsically ...

Evidence for the Efficacy of Student-active Learning Pedagogies

This paper describes a 25-year project in which we defined problem solving, identified effective methods for developing students‘ skill in problem solving, implemented a series of four required courses to develop the skill, and evaluated the effectiveness of the program. Four research projects are summarized in which we identified which teaching methods failed to develop problem solving skill a...
