It is unquestionably essential for students to gather their previous knowledge of specific subjects when they are about to learn new and more complex ones. The gaps left by the absence of welldefined learning prerequisites not only contribute to the increase in the learning difficulties, but also lead many students to fail in school. This situation gets even more serious when students are not a...

Notation and Definition: We assume that examples are drawn from some distributions D over an instance space X = X1 × X2, where X1 and X2 correspond to two different “views” of examples. Let c denote the target function, and let X and X− (for simplicity we assume we are doing binary classification) denote the positive and negative regions of X , respectively . For i ∈ 1, 2, let X i = {xj ∈ Xi : ...

We consider the question whether two queries to SAT are as powerful as one query. We show that if PNP[1] = PNP[2] then Locally either NP = coNP or NP has polynomial-size circuits. PNP = PNP[1]. p2 p2=1. p2 = UPNP[1] \RPNP[1]. PH = BPPNP[1]. Moreover we extend work of Hemaspaandra, Hemaspaandra and Hempel to show that if P p2 [1] = P p2 [2] then p2 = p2 . We also give a relativized world where P...

Transmission and distribution (T&D) dynamic cosimulation is a practical and effective approach to leverage existing simulation tools for transmission and distribution systems to simulate dynamic stability and performance of T&D systems in a systematic manner. Given that these tools are developed as stand-alone programs and there are inherent differences between them, interface techniques become...

This paper proposes a novel framework called bilingual co-training for a largescale, accurate acquisition method for monolingual semantic knowledge. In this framework, we combine the independent processes of monolingual semanticknowledge acquisition for two languages using bilingual resources to boost performance. We apply this framework to largescale hyponymy-relation acquisition from Wikipedi...
