Education has long been a space of in which knowledge was created through data practices. But the ongoing datafication and digitalisation has made new forms of datafied knowledge production within educational research possible. This new form of datafied knowledge creation has shifted the sites of expertise and the authority to create educational knowledge to a more-than-human network. This panel conceptually and empirically examines the possibilities and implications that arise from the entanglement of education with advanced media such as ubiquitous sensory environments, APIs, machine learning, and codes. The panel shows how the idea of measurable and re-configurable bodies of students is being performed and stabilized through trade shows and academic conferences; it moves towards a critical analysis of different applications of facial recognition in education and the role of doubt in machine learning methods; it shows the complex involvement of advanced learning analytics through a critical examination of interrelated studies in behavioural genetics and genoeconomics looking for associations between genes and educational outcomes through bioinformatic methods; and, it examines learning and living spaces that create a situation of ubiquitous sensation and explores interventions to disrupt the technical milieu. What connects these papers is more than the spaces, ideas and practices that surround education. All contributions look at datafied knowledge about human life – whether in behavioural, physiological, emotional, or genetic form. The panel aims to show what critical education research has adopted from other disciplines, but also show how it can contribute to the wider discourse around science, technology and society.

Background. Osteosarcoma is a common and highly metastatic malignant tumor, and m5C RNA methylation regulates various biological processes. The purpose of this study was to explore the prognostic role of m5C in osteosarcoma using machine learning. Methods. Osteosarcoma gene data and the corresponding clinical information were downloaded from the GEO database. Machine learning methods were used to screen m5C-related genes and construct m5C scores. In addition, the clusterProfiler package was used to predict the m5C-related functional pathways. xCell and CIBERSORT were used to calculate the immune microenvironment cells. GSVA was applied to analyze different categories of m5C genes, and the correlation between the GSVA and m5C scores was evaluated. Results. Twenty m5C genes were identified, and 54 related genes were screened. The m5C score was constructed based on the PCA score. With an increase in the m5C score, the expression of m5C genes and their related genes changed. Functional analysis indicated that the focal adhesion, cell-substrate adherens junction, cell adhesion molecule binding, and E2F targets might change with the m5C score. The naive B cells and CD4+ memory T cell also changed with the m5C score. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the m5C score was significantly correlated with the reader and eraser genes. Conclusion. The m5C score might be a prognostic index for osteosarcoma.

Out Of Sample

This paper presents an overview of the procedures that are involved in prediction with machine learning models with special emphasis on deep learning. We study suitable objective functions for prediction in high-dimensional settings and discuss the role of regularization methods in order to alleviate the problem of overfitting. We also review other features of machine learning methods, such as the selection of hyperparameters, the role of the architecture of a deep neural network for model prediction, or the importance of using different optimization routines for model selection. The review also considers the issue of model uncertainty and presents state-of-the-art methods for constructing prediction intervals using ensemble methods, such as bootstrap and Monte Carlo dropout. These methods are illustrated in an out-of-sample empirical forecasting exercise that compares the performance of machine learning methods against conventional time series models for different financial indices. These results are confirmed in an asset allocation context.

Role Of Light

Bioluminescent Proteins (BLPs) are widely distributed in many living organisms that act as a key role of light emission in bioluminescence. Bioluminescence serves various functions in finding food and protecting the organisms from predators. With the routine biotechnological application of bioluminescence, it is recognized to be essential for many medical, commercial and other general technological advances. Therefore, the prediction and characterization of BLPs are significant and can help to explore more secrets about bioluminescence and promote the development of application of bioluminescence. Since the experimental methods are money and time-consuming for BLPs identification, bioinformatics tools have played important role in fast and accurate prediction of BLPs by combining their sequences information with machine learning methods. In this review, we summarized and compared the application of machine learning methods in the prediction of BLPs from different aspects. We wish that this review will provide insights and inspirations for researches on BLPs.

The purpose of this paper is to show that inductive logic programming (ILP) is still relevant in contemporary machine learning applications. We mainly emphasize three modern applications where the use of ILP approach is particularly effective comparing to other machine learning methods. These applications are precisely related to search techniques, game strategies, and user behaviours on mobile areas.

The article examines the perception of Turkey by Instagram users in the news resources of Kazakhstan. The use of machine learning methods allows to study a large volume of data to solve the problem. The connection between the formation of the image in the mass media and the perception of international relations among citizens is noted. The role of Instagram in covering political news among Kaznet users is revealed. The analysis of comments was performed with the help of information processing tools. The author states that there is no unified strategy for shaping the image of Turkey among users: Turkey as a discursive image is formed both from the point of view of abstract concepts (economics, health care, politics) and a specific personality, represented by R. Erdogan. Attention is paid to the connotations associated with the ideas of Pan-Turkism and the image of Turkey. It is concluded that users pay more attention to internal problem, comparing information provided by the news with situation in Kazakhstan.
