Reference-based Metrics can be Replaced with Reference-less Metrics in Evaluating Grammatical Error Correction Systems

In grammatical error correction (GEC), automatically evaluating system outputs requires gold-standard references, which must be created manually and thus tend to be both expensive and limited in coverage. To address this problem, a referenceless approach has recently emerged; however, previous reference-less metrics that only consider the criterion of grammaticality, have not worked as well as ...

Philosophical Didactics: How Creativity Can be Compatible with Critical Thinking

The modernistic model of upbringing emphasizes more cognitive, instrumental competence, and underlines the importance of critical thinking. The postmodern model of upbringing induces more interdisciplinary and creative thinking. The authors of the article raise the following question: is creativity compatible or incompatible with critical thinking? Relying on their own experience of textbooks w...

Planning with Abstraction Hierarchies Can Be Exponentially Less Eecient

It is well-known that state abstraction can speed up planning exponentially, under ideal conditions. We add to the knowledge|showing that state abstraction may likewise slow down planning exponentially, and even result in generating an exponentially longer solution than necessary. This phenomenon can occur for abstraction hierarchies which are generated automatically by the Alpine and Highpoint...
