In this article we introduce partial retraining, an algorithm to determine the relevance of the input variables of a trained neural network. We place this algorithm in the context of other approaches to relevance determination. Numerical experiments on both artificial and real-world problems show that partial retraining outperforms its competitors, which include methods based on constant substi...

A controlled trial of retraining of the sensory function of the hand was undertaken in hemiplegic patients after the period of spontaneous recovery. Twenty hemiplegic patients with sensory deficit in the hand, two or more years after stroke, received systematic retraining three times a week for six weeks. Sensation in the plegic hand was tested before and after this period in these patients and...

Electroconvulsive shock [ECS] or puromycin administered prior to training did not significantly impair acquisition of shock-avoidance in goldfish. Significant retention deficits are observed on retraining 72 hr later in groups of fish that received ECS 2.5, 1 or 0.5 hr before training as well as in groups that received ECS 0, 4 or 24 hr after training. Puromycin produces significant retention d...

We propose a principled and effective domain adaptation framework that pursues the goal of Open Domain NLP (train once, test anywhere). Most domain adaptation frameworks adapt the models trained on the source domain data by retraining it on target domains (with a mix of labeled and unlabeled data). However, it is time consuming to retrain big models or pipeline systems, and may not even be feas...

he sequential sound therapy is a treatment of the tinnitus with white noise that has some own characteristics. They are described the methodology, as well as their differences and similarities with the Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. The sequential sound therapy has been carried out to seventeen patients assisted during the year 2002. 26 generators of sounds adapted, of them, 22 generators of soun...

Panel Summary This panel looks at software engineering retraining in industry through industry-university collaboration. The particular context for the panel is the Software Systems Development Certificate (SSDC) under the Software Engineering Retraining Program (SERP) that brought together Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Southern Polytechnic State University, and the State of Georgia. Thi...

In (perhaps) one of the largest series, treatment of 30 cases of writer's cramp by behaviour therapy alone, has been studied over a period of 5 years. The therapy techniques used were (i) relaxation therapy and retraining (ii) relaxation therapy, retraining and systematic desenetization. The outcome of both the techniques are very encouraging and show definite improvement in all cases. Various ...
