This paper describes the ITNLP system participated in the Short Text Conversation (STC Chinese subtask) of the NTCIR12. We employed a Logistic Regression Model combined with pattern-based matching features to solve the STC problem. Deep learning methods were also tried in our experiment. Out of the 44 submitted runs our best performance run ITNLP-C-R3 ranked 8(Mean nDCG@1),12(Mean P+) and 9(Mea...

This paper describes an experience with use of peer assessment in tutorials as a tool to promote deep learning from early stages of a course on Data Structures and Algorithms. The goal was to improve the utility of tutorials in encouraging more efficient learning habits. Since assessment forms a key part of the actual curriculum, tutorial exercises were for credit, but the emphasis was on forma...

Research-based calls for science education reform emphasize that, for inquiry and deep learning to occur, teachers must attend to the substance of students’ ideas, which must play a prominent role in class. Using classroom video and teacher interviews, we illustrate two different ways of attending to students’ ideas, both of which sustain students’ sensemaking. These two different kinds of atte...

This paper presents Aicyber's system for NLPCC 2017 shared task 2. It is formed by a voting of three deep learning based system trained on character-enhanced word vectors and a well known bag-of-word model.

A dynamic, task-oriented online discussion model for deep learning in distance education is described and illustrated in this article. Information, methods, and cognition, three general learning processes, provide the foundation on which the model is based. Three types of online discussion are prescribed; flexible peer, structured topic, and collaborative task discussion. The discussion types a...

[1] Turbulent-scale temperature and conductivity were measured during the pan-arctic Beringia 2005 Expedition. The rates of dissipation of thermal variance and diapycnal diffusivities are calculated along a section from Alaska to the North Pole, across deep flat basins (Canada and Makarov Basins) and steep ridges (Alpha-Mendeleev and Lomonosov Ridges). The mixing rates are observed to be small ...
