Predicting treatment process steps from events

From Time-steps to Events and Back

We present a design for general layered control systems capable of learning delayed response tasks with arbitrarily long delays. The approach is based on extracting events from the time-step based input stream and reacting to these events using top-down modulation. This modulation can bias the outputs in some direction and lets the system focus on a subset of the available sensory array. To avo...

f/sla from learner perspectives: a social activity or a cognitive process

in the past couple of decades sociocultural theory of sla and its implications in efl contexts have attracted attentions of research circles worldwide and aroused some controversies. firth and wagner (1997) have questioned the principles of the cognitive view which gives importance to mental constructs in favor of sociocultural view which highlights social and contextual constructs. but if soci...

First steps towards probabilistic process mining

This paper presents some initial ideas on a probabilistic version of the process mining problem. We propose that a process model selection criteria to choose the “correct” model mined from a log should balance complexity (of the model) and fitness (how well the model predicts the frequencies of the traces in the log). We propose the known statistical measure of χ to measure the fitness, and we ...

Ten Steps to Successful Software Process Improvement

Many organizations wish to improve the quality of software they develop, the predictability of developing it, and the productivity of the people developing it. One approach for doing this is to improve software development processes. Most process models identify purely technical approaches to improve software processes and seldom consider organizational or cultural issues. This paper, on the ot...
