Educational Resources: A New Feature at Southern Spaces

New Cloud Activity on Uranus in 2004: First Detection of a Southern Feature at 2.2 microns

A new look at feature selection

One of the basic components of image information mining (IIM) systems is feature extraction. Feature extraction delivers a low level “building block” decomposition of the input data. In principle, feature extraction results may depend on the characteristics of the images to be analyzed. In order to avoid a critical dependence on a specific concept, we advocate a general feature finder toolbox a...

New Approaches to Describing and Discovering Open Educational Resources

This paper will report and reflect on the innovative technical approaches adopted by UKOER projects to resource description, search engine optimisation and resource discovery. The HEFCE UKOER programmes ran for three years from 2009 to 2012 and funded a large number and variety of projects focused on releasing open educational resources (OERs) and embedding open practice. The Cetis Innovation S...

A New Framework for Distributed Multivariate Feature Selection

Feature selection is considered as an important issue in classification domain. Selecting a good feature through maximum relevance criterion to class label and minimum redundancy among features affect improving the classification accuracy. However, most current feature selection algorithms just work with the centralized methods. In this paper, we suggest a distributed version of the mRMR featu...

Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) are courses and learning materials at all educational levels that are freely available online for use by educators and learners worldwide. These resources offer access for those not affiliated with formal educational programs plus opportunities for sharing and collaboration among educators. The sites on this page focus on OER materials and issues in higher educa...
