Apprenticeship and Applied Theoretical Knowledge

Lexical and World Knowledge: Theoretical and Applied Viewpoints

Three discussion points are addressed from two perspectives: that of an anthropological tradition in cognitive science, and that of application--oriented natural language processing. From the cognitive perspective, knowledge of the world is not as influenced by linguistic semantics as we are tempted to think. From the applied NLP perspective, the distinction between world and lexical knowledge ...

Knowledge Base Refinement Using Apprenticeship Learning Techniques

This paper describes how apprenticeship learning techniques can be used to refine the knowledge base of an expert system for heuristic classification problems. The described method is an alternative to the long-standing practice of creating such knowledge bases via induction from examples. The form of apprenticeship learning discussed in this paper is a form of learning by watching, in which le...

municable disease control to the newer responsibilities of the hazards of ionizing radiation and medical defense against atomic attack. The individual topics are adequately developed with emphasis, in the majority, on brevity of presentation rather than complete and exhaustive detail. References are listed after each chapter for the reader desiring more definitive information. "Epidemiologic Me...

Theoretical Computer Science Education in light of Cognitive Apprenticeship

Many students at German universities have difficulties to cope with the introductory courses on theoretical computer science, which results in very high dropout and failure rates. In the past years we have experimented with a variety of improvements to the theory course held at the University of Potsdam, Germany. During last winter semester we improved the setup of the course by taking into acc...
