Transfer Between Analogies: How Solving One Analogy Problem Helps to Solve Another

This paper deals with transfer between analogies; with what people acquire from one analogy problem-solving episode that can be re-applied to a subsequent analogy, problem-solving episode. This issue must be resolved if we are to understand the nature of expertise and the appropriate use of analogy in education. There are two main explanations of what subjects acquire from an analogy problem-so...

A Honey Bee Algorithm To Solve Quadratic Assignment Problem

Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first o...

Childhood Dental Fear: A Problem to Solve

Childhood obesity: a societal problem to solve.

In contrast to other threats to American children's health, the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity are considered the responsibility of individual children and their parents. This pressure exists in the context of the societal stigmatization of overweight children and the powerful environmental inducements aimed directly at children to eat nutritionally poor foods. Parents of overwei...

Several ways to solve the MSO problem

The so called MSO-problem, – a simple superposition of two or more sinusoidal waves –, has recently been discussed as a benchmark problem for reservoir computing and was shown to be not learnable by standard echo state regression. However, we show that are at least three simple ways to learn the MSO signal by introducing a time window on the input, by changing the network time step to match the...
