Speech Title: GSA: Facilitating Intra-Subject Study and Inter-Subject Development with Course Knowledge Graphs

Abtract:Knowledge graphs (KGs) have been actively studied for pedagogical purposes. To depict the rich but latent relations among different concepts in the course textbook, increasing efforts have been proposed to construct course KGs for university students. However, the application of course KGs for real study scenarios and career development remains unexplored and nontrivial. First, it is hard to enable personalized viewing and advising. Within the intricate university curricula, instructors aim to assist students in developing a personalized course selection pathway, which cannot be fulfilled by isolated course KGs. Second, locating concepts that are important to individuals poses challenges to students. Real-world course KGs may contain hundreds of concepts connected by hierarchical relations, e.g., contain subtopic, making it challenging to capture the key points. To tackle these challenges, in this talk, we present GSA, a novel system based on course knowledge graphs, to facilitate both intra-course study and inter-course development for students significantly. More specifically, we establish an interactive web system for both instructors to construct and manipulate course KGs, and students to view and interact. To visualize the centrality of a course KG based on various metrics, concept-level advising is designed; we also propose a tailored algorithm to suggest the learning path based on what concepts students have learned. Finally, course-level advising is instantiated with a course network, which indicates the prerequisite relations among different levels of courses, corresponding to the annually increasing curricular design and forming different major streams. Examples will be given to illustrate the effectiveness of GSA.

Speech Title: QoE-Aware Power Management Via Scheduling and Governing Co-Optimization on Mobile Devices

Abstract: Scheduling and governing are two key technologies to trade off the Quality of Experience (QoE) against the power consumption on mobile devices with heterogeneous cores. However, there are still defects in the use of them, among which two of the decoupling issues are critical and need to be resolved. First, both the scheduling and governing decouple from QoE, one of the most important metrics of user experience on mobile platforms. Second, scheduling and governing also decouple from each other in mobile systems and they might weaken each other when being effective at the same time. To address the above issues, we propose Orthrus, a comprehensive QoE-aware power management approach that involves a governing approach based on deep reinforcement learning, a scheduling algorithm based on finite state machine, and coordination mechanism between the two to manage the impact between scheduling and governing. We implement Orthrus on Google Pixel 3 and the evaluation demonstrates that it reduces the average power consumption by up to 35.7% compared to three state-of-the-art techniques while ensuring the QoE on mobile platforms.
