چکیده

In classification learning experiments, test subjects are presented with objects which they must categorize. The correct categories, which are known to the experimenter, are functions of the characteristics (“dimensions”) of the objects, such as size, color, brightness, and saturation. The experiments measure the relative difficulty of learning different categorizations. One major factor which influences the difficulty of learning is whether the dimensions are easily distinguishable by the subjects. Separable dimension problems are ones in which humans can differentiate dimensions of the objects, e.g. size, color, and shape. Integral dimension problems are ones in which humans can not (easily) distinguish the dimensions, e.g. brightness, saturation, and hue. Psychologists reason that when dimensions are separable, humans develop logical rules about which dimensions matter, and when they are integral, humans do not (cannot) develop these rules.

The Effect of Task Complexity on EFL Learners’ Narrative Writing Task Performance

This study examined the effects of task complexity on written narrative production under different task complexity conditions by EFL learners at different proficiency levels. Task complexity was manipulated along Robinson’s (2001b) proposed task complexity dimension of Here-and-Now (simple) vs. There-and-Then (complex) in. Accordingly, three specific measures of the written narratives were targ...

On the Empirical Complexity of Text Classification Problems

In order to train a classifier that generalizes well, different learning problems, in particular high-dimensional ones such as text classification, can require widely different amounts of training, as measured in terms of the number of training instances required to reach adequate accuracy or the number of features effectively utilized in the classifier. We define several measures of learning d...

Detection of Fake Accounts in Social Networks Based on One Class Classification

Detection of fake accounts on social networks is a challenging process. The previous methods in identification of fake accounts have not considered the strength of the users’ communications, hence reducing their efficiency. In this work, we are going to present a detection method based on the users’ similarities considering the network communications of the users. In the first step, similarity ...

NEW CRITERIA FOR RULE SELECTION IN FUZZY LEARNING CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS

Designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing Fuzzy Learning Classifier (FLC) systems. Conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. In thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of Information Retrieval (IR)systems is adapted as alternative...

Language Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in Different Types of Writing Paragraph: Do the Raters Notice Such Effect

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of two types of paragraph on EFL learners’ written production. It addressed the issue of how three aspects of language production (i.e. complexity, accuracy, and fluency) vary among two types of paragraphs (i.e. paragraphs of chronology and cause-effect) written by EFL learners. Thirty intermediate level learners of English participate...

When will Feature Feedback help? Quantifying the Complexity of Classification Problems

Supervised learning typically requires human effort to label a large number of training instances. Active learning strives to decrease the number of labeled training examples needed by actively engaging the learner and the human in an interactive process. Active learning has proven to be effective in many domains. With few training examples, past work has found that user prior knowledge on the ...
