Humans improve their performance by means of a variety of learning strategies, including both gradual statistical induction from experience and rapid incorporation of advice. In many learning environments, these strategies may interact in complementary ways. The focus of this work is on cognitively plausible models of multistrategy learning involving the integration of inductive generalization ...

This study was designed to assess the practices and challenges in implementing differentiated instruction Mingde primary school. Qualitative research design using case method employed investigate of instruction. Semi-structured interviews were conducted collect data for this study. Data collection based on two one basis. The findings revealed that there is a conceptual understanding problem amo...

Detection and isolation of faults are important tasks for improving the reliability of process industries in order to enhance their products quality. This paper investigates the detection and isolation of faults using structured residuals. Actuator and sensor faults are considered. Residuals are generated using a bank of unknown input observers (UIO). Three-tank benchmark system was used as a p...

In this paper we introduce a novel approach for unsupervised classification of planning instances based on the recent formalism of planning programs. Our approach is inspired by structured prediction in machine learning, which aims at predicting structured information about a given input rather than a scalar value. In our case, each input is an unlabelled classical planning instance, and the as...

Many real-world applications are associated with structured data, where not only input but also output has interplay. However, typical classification and regression models often lack the ability of simultaneously exploring high-order interaction within input and that within output. In this paper, we present a deep learning model aiming to generate a powerful nonlinear functional mapping from st...

This article addresses the issue of the English-only movement in the United States public schools, specifically the Structured English Immersion (SEI) methodology. It discusses the controversy surrounding bilingual education by reviewing theoretical and empirical research about the implementation of SEI. The article articulates that SEI is an appropriate alternative to other bilingual instructi...

We report the results of a pilot study that explores potential uses for BrailleTouch in the instruction of braille literacy for the visually impaired. BrailleTouch is an eyes-free text entry application for smart phones. We conducted individual semi-structured interviews and a focus group with four domain expert participants.

In this issue of Neuron, Makino and Malinow and Kleindienst et al. present evidence of a behaviorally induced form of synaptic plasticity that would encourage the development of fine-scale structured input patterns and the binding of features within single neurons.

In this paper, we propose a new framework for the dynamic construction of structured visual object/scene detectors for content-based retrieval. In the Visual Apprentice, a user defines visual object/scene models via a multiple-level definition hierarchy: a scene consists of objects, which consist of object-parts, which consist of perceptual-areas, which consist of regions. The user trains the s...
