The company I work for Catalyst-EU is having a #Moodle community day at Qween Mary University London on June 16th

There will be a presentation from Scott Anderberg - Chief Executive Officer, Moodle HQ and a chance to meet people who are dealing with the challenge of delivering education at scale.

- *Expected Model Change:* The instance selected is the
one that would impart the most change to the current
model if its label were known (computed by calculating
the expected gradient magnitude with respect to the
loss function).

Multiagent, multimodal and modular systems is a

VAEs). There is a risk of generating unrealistic
examples.

AL Strategies:
- *Uncertainty Sampling:* The model queries the instance
for which it has the least confidence in its current
predictions.
- *Query by Committee:* Multiple models are used, and the
instance chosen is the one about which they disagree
the most. #dailyreport #conference #ai #aitrends #techtrends #tech #programming #science #systems #aiengineering #learing

Title: P2: Skolkovo and CentralUn [2025-05-28 Wed]

- *Stream-based* We check every new instance, which
carries the risk of missing informative examples.
- *Pool-based* We have a pool of instances to choose
from. This is an optimization problem and may be costly.
- *Generate* We generate new synthetic data for which the
model queries the label (via approaches like GANs or #dailyreport #conference #ai #aitrends #techtrends #tech #programming #science #systems #aiengineering #learing

- Active learing (AL) as part of advanced LLM systems.
- Pruning and reducing large LLMs to increase speed in
tasks.
- Optimization as the core of most modern algorithms.
- Topological Autoncoders is cool tool for 3D and
audio simplification for AI training.

I was at meetup of biggest tech universities:
Skolkovo and CentralUn.

Highlights:
- Science history:
1) Theory ~25 centuries
2) Experiment ~5 cent.
3) Computational science ~0.7 cent.
4) Big data Science ~0.2 cent. #programming #science #systems #aiengineering #learing #dailyreport #conference #ai #aitrends #techtrends #tech #programming #science #systems #aiengineering #learing

Disclaimer, I work for Catalyst-EU part of the Catalyst group. However one of the reasons I wanted to work for them was their commitment to Free Libre and Open Source software. This blog post explains their approach. I really don't like the graphic that has been used.

Open Source at Catalyst: Owning our digital future.

At Catalyst, we don’t just promote open source through our support of platforms like Moodle - we live and breathe it in everything that we do

The #Moodle #STACK question type is the most powerful and flexible #Maths related #quiz question type available free or paid for.

However installing it can be a challenge. The latest version has added improved error messages which I have seen as part of evaluating the latest release
