Scholarly knowledge graphs have the potential to address these challenges. However, creating such graphs remains a complex task. We propose a method to crowdsource structured scholarly knowledge from paper authors with a web-based user interface supported by artificial intelligence. The interface enables authors to select key sentences for annotation. It integrates multiple machine learning algorithms to assist authors during the annotation, including class recommendation and key sentence highlighting. We envision that the interface is integrated in paper submission processes for which we define three main task requirements: The task has to be . We evaluated the interface with a user study in which participants were assigned the task to annotate one of their own articles. With the resulting data, we determined whether the participants were successfully able to perform the task. Furthermore, we evaluated the interface’s usability and the participant’s attitude towards the interface with a survey. The results suggest that sentence annotation is a feasible task for researchers and that they do not object to annotate their articles during the submission process.
- ItemOER Recommendations to Support Career Development(Piscataway, NJ : IEEE, 2020) Tavakoli, Mohammadreza; Faraji, Ali; Mol, Stefan T.; Kismihók, GáborThis Work in Progress Research paper departs from the recent, turbulent changes in global societies, forcing many citizens to re-skill themselves to (re)gain employment. Learners therefore need to be equipped with skills to be autonomous and strategic about their own skill development. Subsequently, high-quality, on-line, personalized educational content and services are also essential to serve this high demand for learning content. Open Educational Resources (OERs) have high potential to contribute to the mitigation of these problems, as they are available in a wide range of learning and occupational contexts globally. However, their applicability has been limited, due to low metadata quality and complex quality control. These issues resulted in a lack of personalised OER functions, like recommendation and search. Therefore, we suggest a novel, personalised OER recommendation method to match skill development targets with open learning content. This is done by: 1) using an OER quality prediction model based on metadata, OER properties, and content; 2) supporting learners to set individual skill targets based on actual labour market information, and 3) building a personalized OER recommender to help learners to master their skill targets. Accordingly, we built a prototype focusing on Data Science related jobs, and evaluated this prototype with 23 data scientists in different expertise levels. Pilot participants used our prototype for at least 30 minutes and commented on each of the recommended OERs. As a result, more than 400 recommendations were generated and 80.9% of the recommendations were reported as useful.
- ItemThe Concept of Identifiability in ML Models(Setúbal : SciTePress - Science and Technology Publications, Lda., 2022) von Maltzan, Stephanie; Bastieri, Denis; Wills, Gary; Kacsuk, Péter; Chang, VictorRecent research indicates that the machine learning process can be reversed by adversarial attacks. These attacks can be used to derive personal information from the training. The supposedly anonymising machine learning process represents a process of pseudonymisation and is, therefore, subject to technical and organisational measures. Consequently, the unexamined belief in anonymisation as a guarantor for privacy cannot be easily upheld. It is, therefore, crucial to measure privacy through the lens of adversarial attacks and precisely distinguish what is meant by personal data and non-personal data and above all determine whether ML models represent pseudonyms from the training data.
- ItemTranslating the Concept of Goal Setting into Practice: What ‘else’ Does It Require than a Goal Setting Tool?(Setúbal, Portugal : Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2020) Kismihók, Gábor; Zhao, Catherine; Schippers, Michaéla; Mol, Stefan; Harrison, Scott; Shehata, Shady; Lane, H. Chad; Zvacek, Susan; Uhomoibhi, JamesThis conceptual paper reviews the current status of goal setting in the area of technology enhanced learning and education. Besides a brief literature review, three current projects on goal setting are discussed. The paper shows that the main barriers for goal setting applications in education are not related to the technology, the available data or analytical methods, but rather the human factor. The most important bottlenecks are the lack of students’ goal setting skills and abilities, and the current curriculum design, which, especially in the observed higher education institutions, provides little support for goal setting interventions.
- ItemDigital Transformation of Education Credential Processes and Life Cycles – A Structured Overview on Main Challenges and Research Questions([Wilmington, DE, USA] : IARIA, [2020], 2020) Keck, Ingo R.; Vidal, Maria-Esther; Heller, Lambert; Mikroyannidis, Alexander; Chang, Maiga; White, StephenIn this article, we look at the challenges that arise in the use and management of education credentials, and from the switch from analogue, paper-based education credentials to digital education credentials. We propose a general methodology to capture qualitative descriptions and measurable quantitative results that allow to estimate the effectiveness of a digital credential management system in solving these challenges. This methodology is applied to the EU H2020 project QualiChain use case, where five pilots have been selected to study a broad field of digital credential workflows and credential management.
