September 2008
From September 15th to 19th, 2008, PhD student Heng Luo will attend the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD) in Antwerp, Belgium. He will present his work on a collaborative filtering framework based on local user similarity and global user similarity on Thursday, 18th, 11:40 and during the poster session later that day. Read the abstract here
(http://www.ecmlpkdd2008.org/accepted-papers/abstract?id=179).
PhD student and teacher Xiaohong Tan returned to Shanghai this week after a three month research stay at the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, http://www.dfki.de). During the stay at the ActiveMath group (www.activemath.org), she investigated cross-cultural educational data-mining in large-scale multimedia learning. The research
was supported by the International Bureau of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(http://www.internationales-buero.de/en/index.php), project number CHN
08/013.

As the first researcher from mainland China, PhD student Heng Luo published a paper in the journal "Machine Learning". In the paper, Heng Luo presents a new approach to collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering as a classical method of information retrieval has been widely used in helping people to deal with information overload. In his paper, Luo introduces the concept of local user similarity and global user similarity, based on surprisal-based vector similarity and the application of the concept of maximin distance in graph theory. Surprisal-based vector similarity expresses the
relationship between any two users based on the quantities of information (called surprisal) contained in their ratings. Global user similarity defines two users being similar if they can be connected through their locally similar neighbors. Based on both of Local User Similarity and Global User Similarity, Luo develops a collaborative filtering framework called LS&GS. An empirical study using the MovieLens dataset shows that his framework outperforms other state-of-the-art
collaborative filtering algorithms.

European Project Proposal of SJTU E-Learning Lab Granted
The E-Learning Lab of Shanghai Jiao Tong University under the leadership of Prof. Ruimin Shen has successfully applied for a proposal in the FP7 ICT EU Research Programme. The project called "ROLE" (Responsive Open Learning Environments) focuses on highly responsive TEL environments,
offering breakthrough levels of effectiveness, flexibility, user-control and mass-individualisation. The consortium is led by the the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FHG). Other project partners include RWTH Aachen University, Technical University of Graz, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Uppsala University, ¨¦cole Polytechnique F¨¦d¨¦rale de Lausanne, University of Leicester, Open University UK, and others. The project, starting in January 2009, will run for 4 years
with a budget of 6.6 Mio Euros.
The project will advance the state-of-the-art in human resource management, self-regulated and social learning, psycho-pedagogical theories of adaptive education and educational psychology, service composition and orchestration, and the use of ICT in lifelong learning. Significant benefits arise for learners, their communities, employers, TEL developers and society. |
April 23 to 25, 2008
From April 23 to 25, PostDoc researcher Dr. Carsten Ullrich will attend the World Wide Web Conference in Beijing (http://www2008.org/). He will present the lab's current research on Web 2.0 and e-learning. His talk on "Why Web 2.0 is Good for Learning and for Research: Principles and Prototypes" is scheduled for Friday, 25.4, 1:30pm.
