AbstractDespite of its importance for safe machine learning, uncertainty quantification for neural networks is far from being solved. State-of-the-art approaches to estimate neural uncertainties are often hybrid, combining parametric models with explicit or implicit (dropout-based) ensembling.

Avoiding Academic Burnout: Academic Factors That Enhance University Student Engagement
Burnout is one of the major problems in higher education and is linked to a decline in students’ academic performance and achievement. Burnout, when prolonged over time and added to stress and high workloads, promotes the intention to drop out of studies,

Flexibility is typical of open universities and their e-learning designs. While this constitutes their main attraction, promising learners will be able to study “anytime, anyplace,” this also demands more self-regulation and engagement, a cause for ...

Medical prediction from missing data with max-minus negative regularized dropout
Missing data is a naturally common problem faced in medical research. Imputation is a widely used technique to alleviate this problem. Unfortunately, the inherent uncertainty of imputation would make the model overfit the observed data distribution ...

Student Dropout Prediction [PDF]
Among the many open problems in the learning process, students dropout is one of the most complicated and negative ones, both for the student and the institutions, and being able to predict it could help to alleviate its social and economic costs. To address this problem we developed a tool that, by exploiting machine learning techniques, allows to ...
