We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
Data Mining with Bayesian Network learning has two important characteristics: under broad conditions learned edges between variables correspond to causal influences, and second, f...

Researchers who make tutoring systems would like to know which sequences of educational content lead to the most effective learning by their students. The majority of data collecte...
Assessment on collaborative student behavior is a longstanding issue in user modeling. Nowadays thanks to the proliferation of online learning and the vast amount of data on studen...
Abstract— The optimal model parameters of a kernel machine are typically given by the solution of a convex optimisation problem with a single global optimum. Obtaining the best p...
