OBE: Outlier by Example

Outlier detection in large datasets is an important problem. There are several recent approaches that employ very reasonable definitions of an outlier. However, a fundamental issue is that the notion of which objects are outliers typically varies between users or, even, datasets. In this paper, we present a novel solution to this problem, by bringing users into the loop. Our OBE (Outlier By Exa...

Assessing Learning Outcomes in Engineering Education: An e-Learning based approach

This research project addresses the assessment of Learning Outcomes using e-learning, in different levels of Engineering Education. Accrediting e-learning as an assessment tool that can be applied independently of the learning pathways may contribute to the achievement of recognition of prior learning and mobility of students. This paper will provide a comparative analysis of the LOs integrated...
