Abstract The recommender system (RS) has played an increasingly important role in Internet applications. Recent literature on RS mainly focused better fitting the user behavior data. However, data is observational, not experimental. This makes for a wide range of biases In this paper, we introduce novel framework to combine advantages both multi-task and curriculum learning debiased recommendat...

This study used eye tracking to investigate the allocation of attention to multimodal stimuli during an incidental learning situation, as well as its impact on subsequent explicit learning. Participants were exposed to foreign language (FL) auditory words on their own, in conjunction with written native language (NL) translations, or with both written NL translations and pictures. Incidental ac...

Previous experiments (Waldron & Ashby, 2001) showed that category learning was differentially impaired by a concurrent Stroop task, depending on the type of rule used to categorize items. Learning was more impaired for simple explicit rules than for complex implicit rules. The present simulation suggests that the multiple learning systems hypothesized by Waldron and Ashby are not necessary to e...

Information extraction aims at extracting entities, relations, and so on, in text to support information retrieval systems. To extract information, researchers have considered multitask learning (ML) approaches. The conventional ML approach learns shared features across tasks, with the assumption that these capture sufficient task interactions learn expressive representations for classification...

Abstract In reengineering technical components, the robust automation of reverse engineering (RE) could overcome need for human supervision in surface reconstruction process. Therefore, an enhanced computer-based geometric reasoning to derive tolerable deviations reconstructing optimal models would promote a deeper understanding RE downstream processes. This approach integrates advanced informa...

Title of Document: USING NEW MEASURES OF IMPLICIT L2 KNOWLEDGE TO STUDY THE INTERFACE OF EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE Yuichi Suzuki, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed By: Dr. Robert M. DeKeyser, Second Language Acquisition Second language acquisition (SLA) becomes extremely difficult for late second language (L2) learners, who are assumed to have passed the sensitive or critical period for...
