In this paper, for the first time, we investigate problem of generating 3D shapes from professional 2D sketches via deep learning. We target done by artists, as these are likely to contain more details than ones produced novices, and thus reconstruction such poses a higher demand on level detail in reconstructed models. This is importantly different previous work, where training testing was con...

The study investigates 39 novice and expert teachers’ perception, interpretation decision-making skills with respect to classroom management events which they observed in two video clips. Their retrospective comments were analyzed a multi-category coding scheme. Experts interpreted more suggested alternative courses of action than novices. They also focused on student learning the context instr...

Research on the effectiveness of introductory programming environments often relies on post-test measures and attitudinal surveys to support its claims; but such instruments lack the ability to identify any explanatory mechanisms that can account for the results. This paper reports on a study designed to address this issue. Using Noss and Hoyles’ constructs of webbing and situated abstractions,...

Event-related brain potentials in response to harmonically inappropriate chords were compared for musical experts and novices. Similar to previous studies, these chords elicited an early right anterior negativity (ERAN). The amplitude of the ERAN was clearly larger for musical experts than for novices, presumably because experts had more specific musical expectancies than novices. Chords with a...

Traditional information retrieval (IR) systems are developed based on the “best match” principle which assumes that users can specify their needs in a query and documents retrieved are relevant to users. However, this objective measure of relevance is limited as it does not consider differences in experts’ and novices’ knowledge and context. This paper presents initial work towards addressing t...

We present evaluation techniques for a novice-oriented creativity support tool in the domain of digital filmmaking. Novices need help executing tasks as well as knowing which tasks are appropriate and the implications their decisions have for their creative product. With our tool, we focus on supporting critical domain knowledge that can enable novices to make meaningful creative contributions....

Causal system categoriese.g., positive feedback systems, are defined by common causal structure and extend across disparate domainse.g., population growth and polar ice-cap melting are both governed by positive feedback. However, recognizing common causal systems across domains is challenging. Prior research suggests these categories are not obvious to novices; when participants sorted descript...

We examined whether two purportedly face-specific effects, holistic processing and the left-side bias, can also be observed in expert-level processing of Chinese characters, which are logographic and share many properties with faces. Non-Chinese readers (novices) perceived these characters more holistically than Chinese readers (experts). Chinese readers had a better awareness of the components...
