Regionalization as a learning process

Modelling Learning as a Process

In this paper we present a formal basis for the development of intelligent learning environments that are capable of reasoning about the process of learning and of changing the environment in ways that create possibilities for processes of interaction that increase learning over time. To support this kind of reasoning we have developed a formal account of interaction and of time-extended proces...

Patient-Centered Care as a Learning Process

Program Comprehension as a Learning Process

The paper describes the process of program comprehension from the point of view of constructivist theory of learning. According to this view, program comprehension starts with the pre-existing knowledge and continues through processes of assimilation and adaptation. The assimilation means that the facts encountered in the program are either added to the knowledge or rejected. Adaptation means t...

Machine Learning as a Commonsense Reasoning Process

One of the most important tasks in database technology is to combine the following activities: data mining or inferring knowledge from data and query processing or reasoning on acquired knowledge. The solution of this task requires a logical language with unified syntax and semantics for integrating deductive (using knowledge) and inductive (acquiring knowledge) reasoning. In this paper, we pro...
