ABSTRACT
Toward Data-Driven Education
A program of study can be viewed as a knowledge graph consisting of learning units and relationships between them. Such a knowledge graph provides the core data structure for organizing and navigating learning experiences. We address three issues in this talk. First, how can we synthesize the knowledge graph, given a set of concepts to be covered in the study program. Next, how can we use data mining to identify and correct deficiencies in a knowledge graph. Finally, how can we use data mining to form study groups with the goal of maximizing overall learning. We conclude by pointing out some open research problems.

ABOUT PROF. I. G. SARMA MEMORIAL LECTURE
This prestigious lecture series was instituted in 1997
in memory of Professor I.G. Sarma, the founding Chairman
of the Department of Computer Science and Automation
(then called the School of Automation) during the formative
years of 1971-1979. His tenure as the chairman, Centre for
Continuing Education and later as the Dean, Faculty of
Engineering was marked by many important academic and
education initiatives being launched at the Indian Institute
of Science. Professor Sarma mainly worked in the areas of
Flight Control, Guidance, and Simulation and closely interacted with many of the Aerospace R&D and Flight Vehicle
Design Organisations such as the NAL, DRDL, VSSC, and
ADA among others.
The talk by Dr Agrawal will be the eleventh in the
series of lectures.
