Rihab BaltiLearnRec: Recommender system for learners.

PhD student in computer science, my research projects aim to develop a recommender system for learners. The main objective is to help the learners exhibit better learning behavior in the virtual environment. This is achieved by combining machine learning, pedagogical theories and mathematical modeling.
