چکیده

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are highly effective at fostering learning gains across a broad range of educational domains (VanLehn, 2011; Woolf, 2008). Tutorial planning is a critical component of ITSs, controlling how scaffolding is structured and delivered to learners. Tutorial planners operate at multiple levels, including the macro-level (e.g., selecting problems for learners to solve) and micro-level (e.g., delivering tailored hints about specific problems). Devising computational models that scaffold effectively—determining when to scaffold, what type of scaffolding to deliver, and how scaffolding should be realized—is a critical challenge for the field.

A Planning Modular Neural-network Robot for Asynchronous Multi-goal Navigation Tasks

This paper focuses on two planning neural-network controllers, a "forward planner" and a "bidirectional planner". These have been developed within the framework of Sutton's Dyna-PI architectures (planning within reinforcement learning) and have already been presented in previous papers. The novelty of this paper is that the architecture of these planners is made modular in some of its component...
