    Designing for Interpretation Uncertainty: Architecture and Principles for Topological Learning Analytics Dashboards

    Hitoshi Inoue, Koichi Yasutake

    cs.CY · cs.HC · cs.LG

    Topological Data Analysis (TDA) offers novel methods for understanding temporal dynamics in complex systems, yet its application in information systems design faces a fundamental challenge: how should systems present analytical outputs when interpretation frameworks are still developing? This paper reports on the development of TopoLA, a dashboard system applying Zigzag Persistent Homology to learning management system data, and proposes...

    Participation-Sensitive Convergence and the Fragment First, Converge Later Pattern in Asynchronous Online Learning: A Topological Analysis Across 22 OULAD Courses

    Hitoshi Inoue, Koichi Yasutake

    cs.CY · cs.LG

    Asynchronous online learning offers temporal flexibility at a structural cost: learning communities tend to fragment rather than cohere. $β_0$, the number of disconnected behavioral clusters from Zigzag Persistent Homology, serves as a cohort-level indicator of this structure. Two questions remained unverified at scale: (1) does apparent $β_0$ convergence reflect genuine behavioral alignment or learner dropout? and (2) do assessment deadlines...

    Architecture Without an Architect? Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence in a Divided World

    Simon Chesterman

    cs.CY · cs.AI

    Artificial intelligence presents an unusually difficult problem for global governance. The technology develops rapidly, crosses borders easily, and is shaped by actors whose resources and capabilities may rival those of states. Yet international responses remain fragmented, unevenly representative, and overwhelmingly non-binding. The challenge is therefore not simply to identify appropriate rules or institutions, but to understand who has the...
