Users Behavioural Inference with Markovian Decision Process and Active Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) users discuss the existence of typical profiles and their impact on the learning process of students. One of the concerns when creating a new MOOC is knowing how the users behave when going through the contents. We can identify either quantitative methods that allow you to infer hardly interpretable groups of similar behaviour[1] or hardly context-transposable qualitative methods[2]. Our ambition is to find an efficient way to identify the behavioural pattern of interest to a given human expert. Within the #MOOCLive project, we developed a mix-method to match the quantitative interpretation to the context needs.

Trust Classification in Social Networks Using Combined Machine Learning Algorithms and Fuzzy Logic
Social networks have become the main infrastructure of today’s daily activities of people during the last decade. In these networks, users interact with each other, share their interests on resources and present their opinions about these resources or spread their information. Since each user has a limited knowledge of other users and most of them are anonymous, the trust factor plays an import...
متن کاملModular Bayesian Inference and Learning of Decision Networks as Stand-alone Mechanisms of the Mabel Model: Implications for Visualization, Comprehension, and Policy Making
This paper describes a modular component of the MABEL model agents’ cognitive inference mechanism. The probabilistic and probabilogic representation of the agents’ environment and state space is coupled with a Bayesian belief and decision network functionality, which in fact holds Markovian semiparametric properties. Different approaches to modeling multi-agent systems are described and analyze...
متن کاملHq-learning: Discovering Markovian Subgoals for Non-markovian Reinforcement Learning
To solve partially observable Markov decision problems, we introduce HQ-learning, a hierarchical extension of Q-learning. HQ-learning is based on an ordered sequence of subagents, each learning to identify and solve a Markovian subtask of the total task. Each agent learns (1) an appropriate subgoal (though there is no intermediate, external reinforcement for \good" subgoals), and (2) a Markovia...
متن کاملActive Inference, homeostatic regulation and adaptive behavioural control
We review a theory of homeostatic regulation and adaptive behavioural control within the Active Inference framework. Our aim is to connect two research streams that are usually considered independently; namely, Active Inference and associative learning theories of animal behaviour. The former uses a probabilistic (Bayesian) formulation of perception and action, while the latter calls on multipl...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
