As DARPA nears its annual August release of new projects for the coming fiscal year, DoD’s cutting-edge research arm is looking to pump up efforts to improve the reliability, and trustworthiness, of AI-based systems.
The U.S. Army wants future armored vehicles to instantly make decisions about terrain navigation, target identification, incoming enemy fire, and force positions and warfare strategy. In fact, the military wants this to happen in a matter of seconds and all without every nuance needing to be controlled or micro-managed by humans. It is a known and often discussed concept, rapidly gaining traction as new technology continues to emerge at rocket speed.
Researchers from Monash University have developed a new model for learning analytics to help developers create better educational technology, following a systematic literature review of learning analytics dashboards.
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory designated several research programs as essential for future Soldier capabilities. Of these major flagship programs, the Artificial Intelligence for Maneuver and Mobility, or AIMM, Essential Research Program, endeavors to reduce Soldier distractions on the battlefield through the integration of autonomous systems in Army vehicles.
“The main purpose of this essential research program is to build autonomous systems that help the Army effectively execute Multi-Domain Operations,” Fossaceca said. “We don’t want Soldiers to be operating these remote-controlled vehicles with their heads down, constantly paying attention to the vehicle in order to control it. We want these systems to be fully autonomous so that these Soldiers can do their jobs and these autonomous systems can work as teammates and perform effectively in the battlefield.”

With the growing interests in utilizing the abundant data collected by various educational systems and tools to facilitate teaching and learning, Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) emerged as two mainstream conferences for researchers and practitioners to report and share findings that are gained from such data-intensive research practices.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have opened new educational possibilities for learners around the world. Numerous providers have emerged, which usually have different targets (geographical, topics or language), but most of the research and spotlight has been concentrated on the global providers and studies with limited generalizability.

The OpenAIRE project, in the vanguard of the open access and open data movements in Europe was commissioned by the EC to support their nascent Open Data policy by providing a catch-all repository for EC funded research. CERN, an OpenAIRE partner and pioneer in open source, open access and open data, provided this capability and Zenodo was launched in May 2013.
In support of its research programme CERN has developed tools for Big Data management and extended Digital Library capabilities for Open Data. Through Zenodo these Big Science tools could be effectively shared with the long-tail of research.

Presentation from Marko Teräs at the 28th ICDE World Conference on Online Learning of a national-level learning analytics research and development project funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture. Student and teacher needs analysis results for LA pilot development and for policy recommendations.
Anxiety about the effects of social media on young people has risen to such an extreme that giving children smartphones is sometimes equated to handing them a gram of cocaine. The reality is much less alarming.
A close look at social media use shows that most young texters and Instagrammers are fine. Heavy use can lead to problems, but many early studies and news headlines have overstated dangers and omitted context.
Researchers are now examining these diverging viewpoints, looking for nuance and developing better methods for measuring whether social media and related technologies have any meaningful impact on mental health.

What to consider when undertaking research with vulnerable participants
When researchers plan projects they are often filled with enthusiasm about the topic area and the new understanding they will gain from the data. Sometimes, this leads them to overlook the effect on participants of being asked to engage in data collection, especially when this is burdensome.

A major mental health research programme, led by the MRC, has been announced today, to explore what makes teenagers more or less likely to develop mental health problems and how we might intervene early.
In their 2016 article, Sammons et al summarise the recommendations of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics report, Children and Clinical Research: the Ethical Issues.1 We welcome the article’s important message that researchers look beyond age when considering ethical and participatory issues and respond as critical friends (more friends rather than critical) to the six issues they identify. We provide additional material on the history and wider context, including child public health, education and social care research, bearing in mind that the service context for children has tended to be more multiprofessional than for adults. Social science and social care have a sustained history to offer on participation and how to research with and not on children and young people..

The last decade has witnessed increased recognition of the value of literature reviews for advancing understanding and decision making. This has been accompanied by an expansion in the range of methodological approaches and types of review. However, there remains uncertainty over definitions and search requirements beyond those for the ‘traditional’ systematic review. This study aims to characterise health related reviews by type and to provide recommendations on appropriate methods of information retrieval based on the available guidance..

Research letter. Multiple statistical testing (or multiple comparisons) occurs quite often in psychiatric research since it remains common for a given sample to have multiple exposures and outcomes assessed concurrently 1. One reason for this is that clinical presentations in psychiatry are complex phenomena whose etiologies appear to comprise multiple environmental and biological factors with small‐to‐moderate magnitudes 2. So, although complex etiologies could be modeled using interactions and advanced multivariable statistical models, it is common that they need crude estimates of novel variables, increasing the probability of dealing with multiple comparisons..

A small proportion of every nation's young people become sufficiently antisocial to come into contact with the criminal justice system. Many also have disorders of mental health or emotional well‐being. Although countries vary in designating age of criminal responsibility, all must provide services for offenders, perhaps as young as 10, both to help them and safeguard their peers and the wider public..

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are important for evaluating interventions, and qualitative research is increasingly recognized as being crucial to the success of this enterprise. We aimed to describe and demonstrate a temporal parallel purpose framework to help researchers understand how to make optimum use of qualitative research before, during and after RCTs. This framework sets out specific rationales for conducting qualitative research at each stage of a trial, where the rationales presented relate to both the intervention and evaluation methodology..
