adapt to the difficulties encountered by students. With the rise
of digital content in schools, the mass of data coming from
education enables but also ask for machine learning methods. Since
2010, Lelivrescolaire.fr has been developing some learning
materials for teachers and students through collaborative creation
process. For instance, during the school year 2015/2016, students
has achieved more than 8 000 000 exercises on its homework
platform Afterclasse.fr. Our approach would be based on sequential
machine learning: the algorithm learns to recommend some exercises
which adapt to students gradually as they answer.</p>

The research aims at developing new algorithms to learn fast adaptation strategies for dialogue systems when a new user starts using them while we collected data from previous interactions with other users.

developing novel and more sophisticated recommendation strategies
in which the collection of data and the improvement of the
performance are considered as a unique process, where the
trade-off between the quality of the data and the performance of
the recommendation strategy is optimized over time. This work also
consider tensor methods (one layer of the tensor can be the time)
with the goal to scale them at RS level.</p>
