DESCRIPTION:By : Rakesh Agrawal - University of Wisconsin-Madison\nVideo o
 f his talk\n\nAbstract :\nAn educational 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 organizi
 ng and navigating learning experiences. We address three issues in this ta
 lk. First\, how can we synthesize the knowledge graph\, given a set of con
 cepts to be covered in the study program. Next\, how can we use data minin
 g 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 o
 verall learning. We conclude by pointing out some open research problems.\
 n\nBio :\nRakesh Agrawal is the President and Founder of the Data Insights
