RoboBUG: a game-based approach to learning debugging techniques
… in a programmer's career. As an alternative to traditional approaches for learning debugging, we propose the use of a game-based approach for introducing debugging techniques. Specifically, we designed a game called RoboBUG in which a player assumes the role of a futuristic programmer trying …

A sequence-length sensitive approach to learning biological grammars using inductive logic programming.
This thesis aims to investigate if the ideas behind compression principles, such as the Minimum Description Length, can help us to improve the process of learning biological grammars from protein sequences using Inductive Logic Programming (ILP). Contrary to most traditional ILP learning problems, …
