- PublikationPractice track: a learning tracker using digital biomarkers for autistic preschoolers(2022) Sandhu, Gurmit; Kilburg, Anne; Martin, Andreas; Pande, Charuta; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Laurenzi, Emanuele; Billing, Erik; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, Aurona [in: Proceedings of the Society 5.0 Conference 2022 - Integrating digital world and real world to resolve challenges in business and society]Preschool children, when diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), often ex- perience a long and painful journey on their way to self-advocacy. Access to standard of care is poor, with long waiting times and the feeling of stigmatization in many social set- tings. Early interventions in ASD have been found to deliver promising results, but have a high cost for all stakeholders. Some recent studies have suggested that digital biomarkers (e.g., eye gaze), tracked using affordable wearable devices such as smartphones or tablets, could play a role in identifying children with special needs. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of supporting neurodiverse children with technologies based on digital biomark- ers which can help to a) monitor the performance of children diagnosed with ASD and b) predict those who would benefit most from early interventions. We describe an ongoing feasibility study that uses the “DREAM dataset”, stemming from a clinical study with 61 pre-school children diagnosed with ASD, to identify digital biomarkers informative for the child’s progression on tasks such as imitation of gestures. We describe our vision of a tool that will use these prediction models and that ASD pre-schoolers could use to train certain social skills at home. Our discussion includes the settings in which this usage could be embedded.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationHybrid conversational AI for intelligent tutoring systems(Sun SITE, Informatik V, RWTH Aachen, 2021) Pande, Charuta; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas; Montecchiari, Devid; Martin, Andreas; Hinkelmann, Knut; Fill, Hans-Georg; Gerber, Aurona; Lenat, Dough; Stolle, Reinhard; Harmelen, Frank van [in: Proceedings of the AAAI 2021 Spring Symposium on Combining Machine Learning and Knowledge Engineering (AAAI-MAKE 2021)]We present an approach to improve individual and self-regulated learning in group assignments. We focus on supporting individual reflection by providing feedback through a conversational system. Our approach leverages machine learning techniques to recognize concepts in student utterances and combines them with knowledge representation to infer the student’s understanding of an assignment’s cognitive requirements. The conversational agent conducts end-to-end conversations with the students and prompts them to reflect and improve their understanding of an assignment. The conversational agent not only triggers reflection but also encourages explanations for partial solutions.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationLearning and engineering similarity functions for business recommenders(2019) Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas; Martin, Andreas; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, Aurona; Lenat, Doug; Harmelen, Frank van; Clark, Peter [in: Proceedings of the AAAI 2019 Spring Symposium on Combining Machine Learning with Knowledge Engineering (AAAI-MAKE 2019)]We study the optimisation of similarity measures in tasks where the computation of similarities is not directly visible to end users, namely clustering and case-based recommenders. In both, similarity plays a crucial role, but there are also other algorithmic components that contribute to the end result. Our suggested approach introduces a new form of interaction into these scenarios that make the use of similarities transparent to end users and thus allows to gather direct feedback about similarity from them. This happens without distracting them from their goal – rather allowing them to obtain better and more trustworthy results by excluding dissimilar items. We then propose to use the feedback in a way that incorporates machine learning for updating weights and decisions of knowledge engineers about possible additional features, based on insights derived from a summary of user feedback. The reviewed literature and our own previous empirical investigations suggest that this is the most feasible way – involving both machine and human, each in a task that they are particularly good at.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationTraining and re-using human experience: a recommender for more accurate cost estimates in project planning(SciTePress, 2018) Rudolf von Rohr, Christian; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas [in: IC3K 2018 - Proceedings of the 10th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management]In many industries, companies deliver customised solutions to their (business) customers within projects. Estimating the human effort involved in such projects is a difficult task and underestimating efforts can lead to non-billable hours, i.e. financial loss on the side of the solution provider. Previous work in this area has focused on automatic estimation of the cost of software projects and has largely ignored the interaction between automated estimation support and human project leads. Our main hypothesis is that an adequate design of such interaction will increase the acceptance of automatically derived estimates and that it will allow for a fruitful combination of data-driven insights and human experience. We therefore build a recommender that is applicable beyond software projects and that suggests job positions to be added to projects and estimated effort of such positions. The recommender is based on the analysis of similar cases (case-based reasoning), "explains" derived similarities and allows human intervention to manually adjust the outcomes. Our experiments show that recommendations were considered helpful and that the ability of the system to explain and adjust these recommendations was heavily used and increased the trust in the system. We conjecture that the interaction of project leads with the system will help to further improve the accuracy of recommendations and the support of human learning in the future.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationRandom walks on human knowledge: incorporating human knowledge into data-driven recommenders(2018) Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas; Bernardino, Jorge; Salgado, Ana; Filipe, Joaquim [in: IC3K 2018. 10th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management. Proceedings]We explore the use of recommender systems in business scenarios such as consultancy. In these situations, apart from personal preferences of users, knowledge about objective business-driven criteria plays a role. We investigate strategies for representing and incorporating such knowledge into data-driven recommenders. As a baseline, we choose a robust and flexible paradigm that is based on a simple graph-based representation of past customer cases and choices, in combination with biased random walks. On a real data set from a business intelligence consultancy firm, we study how the incorporation of two important types of explicit human knowledge – namely taxonomic and associative knowledge – impacts the effectiveness of a data-driven recommender. Our results show no consistent improvement for taxonomic knowledge, but quite substantial and significant gains when using associative knowledge.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationA new Retrieval Function for Ontology-Based Complex Case Descriptions(2015) Emmenegger, Sandro; Lutz, Jonas; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas [in: Proceedings of CBR-MD'15, 2015]This work focuses on case-based reasoning in domains where cases have complex structures with relationships to an arbitrary number of other (potentially complex and structured) entities and where case characterisations (queries) are potentially incomplete. We summarise the requirements for such domains in terms of case representation and retrieval functions. We then analyse properties of existing similarity measures used in CBR { above all symmetry { and argue that some of these properties are not desirable. By exploiting analogies with retrieval functions in the area of information retrieval { where similar functions have been replaced by new ones not exhibiting the aforementioned undesired properties { we derive a new asymmetric ranking function for case retrieval. On a generated test-bed, we show that indeed the new function results in di erent ranking of cases { and use testbed examples to illustrate why this is desirable from a user's perspective.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationRefining process models through the analysis of informal work practice(2011) Brander, Simon; Hinkelmann, Knut; Hu, Bo; Martin, Andreas; Riss, Uwe; Thönssen, Barbara; Witschel, Hans FriedrichThe work presented in this paper explores the potential of leveraging the traces of informal work and collaboration in order to improve business processes over time. As process executions often differ from the original design due to individual preferences, skills or competencies and exceptions, we propose methods to analyse personal preferences of work, such as email communication and personal task execution in a task management application. Outcome of these methods is the detection of internal substructures (subtasks or branches) of activities on the one hand and the recommendation of resources to be used in activities on the other hand, leading to the improvement of business process models. Our first results show that even though human intervention is still required to operationalise these insights it is indeed possible to derive interesting and new insights about business processes from traces of informal work and infer suggestions for process model changes.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
