Charisma: An Ill-Defined and Ill-Measured Gift

University Education in Remote Sensing: Ill-Defined and Ill-Equipped

Training in remote sensing, like that for chemistry and physics from which it draws, demands a "handson" experience by students. Explosive growth in the field over the past decade has left instructors and professors in the untenable position of having inadequate instructional aids. Moreover, the extraordinary breadth of sensor applications, both proven and feasible, has led to almost ad hoc dec...

Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Ill-Defined Domains: Assessment and Feedback in Ill-Defined Domains

Intelligent tutoring systems have increased student learning in many domains with well-structured tasks such as math and science. As these successes may be applicable to ill-defined domains, is important to investigate how to apply tutoring paradigms for tasks that are ill-defined. We focus on the domain of intercultural competence, where asynchronous online discussion is a typical instructiona...

Intelligent Tutoring Technologies for Ill-Defined Problems and Ill-Defined Domains

In prior work, we have proposed definitions of ill-defined problems and domains that focus on the need for framing or recharacterizing the problem in order to generate plausible solutions, where the recharacterizations and solutions are themselves subject to debate. In this paper we elaborate on the framing or recharacterization component of this definition in light of some plausible counterexa...

Low Inter-Annotator Agreement = An Ill-Defined Problem?

Annotation tasks where the inter-annotator agreement is low are usually considered ill-defined and not worth attention. Such tasks are also considered unsuitable for algorithmic solution and for evaluation of computer programs that aim at solving them. However, there is a lot of problems (not only) in the natural language processing field that are practically defined and do have this nature, an...
