Promoting creativity is considered an important goal of education, but creativity is notoriously hard to measure. In this paper, we make the journey fromdefining a formal measure of creativity that is efficientlycomputable to applying the measure in a practical domain.

The unordered tree edit distance is a natural metric to compute distances between trees without intrinsic child order, such as representations of chemical molecules.

In this paper, we introduce the reservoir stack machine, a model which can provably recognize all deterministic context-free languages and circumvents the training problem by training only the output layer of a recurrent net and employing auxiliary information during training about the desired interaction with a stack.

Differentiable neural computers extend artificial neural networks with an explicit memory without interference, thus enabling the model to perform classic computation tasks such as graph traversal.

We establish a theoretic model in which even perfectly accurate classifiers which adhere to almost all common fairness definitions lead to stable long-term inequalities due to vicious cycles.

Metric learning has the aim to improve classification accuracy by learning a distance measure which brings data points from the same class closer together and pushes data points from different classes further apart.

In particular, we extend the Hint Factory by considering data of past students in all states which are similar to the student's current state and creating hints approximating the weighted average of all these reference states.

We propose to phrase time series prediction as a regression problem and apply dissimilarity- or kernel-based regression techniques, such as 1-nearest neighbor, kernel regression and Gaussian process regression, which can be applied to graphs via graph kernels.
