AIED 2015 provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques and ideas from the many fields that comprise Artificial Intelligence in Education.
Topics of AIED 2015
Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:
- Intelligent Technologies: Natural language processing; Data mining and machine learning; Knowledge representation and reasoning; Semantic web technologies and standards; Simulation-based learning; Multi-agent architectures
- Modelling and Representation: Models of learners, facilitators, tasks and problem-solving processes; Models of groups and communities for learning; Modelling motivation, metacognition, and affective aspects of learning; Ontological modelling; Handling uncertainty and multiple perspectives; Representing and analysing discourse during learning.
- Models of Teaching and Learning: Intelligent tutoring and scaffolding; Motivational diagnosis and feedback; Interactive pedagogical agents and learning companions; Agents that promote metacognition, motivation and affect; Adaptive question-answerin.
- Learning Contexts and Informal Learning: Educational games; Collaborative and group learning; Social networks; Inquiry learning; Social dimensions of learning; Communities of practice; Ubiquitous learning environments; Learning grid; Lifelong, museum, out-of-school, and workplace learning.
- Evaluation: Evaluation methodologies; Studies on human learning, cognition, affect, motivation, and attitudes; Design and formative studies of AIED systems.
