Conventional image classification techniques aim to predict class labels by training a classifier with the provided training labels, but the internal relationship between classes has been ignored. In this project, we explore the feasibility of transferring knowledge between classes to help boost up the classification accuracy. Two transfer learning approaches have been studied, namely, instance...

The training of end-users has become one of the most wide spread methods for companies to support the use of software in an effective and efficient manner. Learning is dependent among other aspects, motivational aspects [1]. Within HCI motivational aspects has been largely ignored, although learning is presupposed. In this study subjectively perceived usability is used as an evaluator of traini...

The training of end-users has become one of the most wide spread methods for companies to support the use of software in an effective and efficient manner. In order to assess whether knowledge acquired through training is transferred and utilized in the work situation, evaluations beyond knowledge tests need to be used. It is proposed that subjectively perceived usability may be a way of evalua...

Interest in spatial audio has increased due to the availability of multichannel reproduction systems for the home and car. Various timbral ear training systems have been presented, but relatively little work has been carried out into training in spatial attributes of reproduced sound. To demonstrate that such a training system is truly useful, it is necessary to show that learned skills are tra...

Mild cognitive impairment, especially executive dysfunction might occur early in the course of Parkinson's disease. Cognitive training is thought to improve cognitive performance. However, transfer of improvements achieved in paper and pencil tests into daily life has been difficult. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether a multimodal cognitive rehabilitation programme includin...

Transfer in terms of skill maintenance and generalization is one of the key challenges in effective training design. Training design for critical military tasks often entails the use of simulations that are high on physical fidelity to minimize skill decrements that impede training transfer. Although this is an effective approach to resolving the transfer problem, it can be costly and inefficie...

Neurofeedback (NFB) allows subjects to learn self-regulation of neuronal brain activation based on information about the ongoing activation. The implementation of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) for NFB training now facilitates the investigation into underlying processes. Our study involved 16 control and 16 training right-handed subjects, the latter performing an exte...
