  2. Outline • The need to disseminate our research to the outer world • The means • The contents • The team • The timeline

  3. The need • What to do answer when asked by common people: what’s your job? • Increase impact • Cross-fertilize with other disciplines • Attract new researchers • Boost our own energy • Get more funding

  4. The idea • Turn research in Learning into a set of pedagogical “exhibits”. • Display these exhibits on the Internet, promote their use in teaching. • Turn them into a show, which can be displayed in schools and museums.

  5. Exhibits • Wikipedia articles • Slide shows with voice over • Videos • Games/interactive software • Children/adult activities: “kitchen counter demos”. • Life demonstrations

  6. Topics Survival Forecasting & Decision making Control Language Memory Creation

  7. Challenges • Challenges are teaching machines! • Pascal challenges • Use of challenges in teaching • Latest on-going challenge

  8. NIPS 2006 Feature Selection Challenge • Five datasets, 75 participants • Web site (still available) • Book • Machine learning toolkit (“Spider”) • Class taught: http://clopinet.com/isabelle/Projects/ETH/
