Doctorate of Science program in Computer Science online with no mentor/advisor. I have completed app... roximately half of the 20 required courses. The last 5 courses are devoted to conducting my dissertation research where I am going to develop domain specific pedagogical agents using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to develop a Large Language Model that will act as a pedagogical agent for eTutors offering the best help the Tutor could offer the student during a one hour Tutoring session also based on a Question-and-Answer Reinforcement Learning model. I will integrate the pedagogical agent into Tutoring sessions where I am also developing a novel scoring mechanims to enhance eLearning through attenuation of an Adaptive Learning Approach that offers more or less tutoring help during the course of the one-hour Tutoring session in the hope to offer a more effective and more personalized eTutoring experience and enhance eLearning in a very short time period.read more
