Instead of having a similarity metric to classify a sentence (or parts of it) decomposition is used as a method fox classification. In order to determine the similarity of a complex sentence and some cases in the case base abstraction by means of decomposition and reduction seems an appropriate means s. rI agree with the comment of an anonymous reviewer that a more thorough linguistic analysis ...

Background This article conducts a comparative national and subnational government analysis of the political, economic, and ideational constructivist contextual factors facilitating the adoption of obesity and diabetes policy.   Methods We adopt a nested analytical approach to policy analysis, which combines cross-national statistical analysis with subnational case study comparisons to examine...

This paper intends to propose an learning agent architecture based on Constructivist AI approach. First we show how Artificial Intelligence can incorporate some concepts from Jean Piaget's psychology to form Constructivist AI as a branch of Symbolic AI. Then we present details about the proposed architecture, discussing the provided agent autonomy. Eventually, we report experimental results.

The paper presents a set of algorithms for the conversion of rule bases between priority-based and constraintbased representations. Inspired by research in precedential reasoning in law, such algorithms can be used for the analysis of a rule base, and for the study of the impact of the introduction of new rules. In addition, the paper explores an optimization mechanism, built upon assumptions a...

When dealing with autonomous robots, the definition of the term “autonomy” is important. Autonomy implies internally an organisation of self-contained and self-referential processes. In this paper, we are dealing with the methodological impact of considering what the robot can actually know. In this context, the idea of combining reactive behaviours with goaloriented mechanisms and of using rep...

The study aimed at exploring the significance of constructivist approach at higher education level. It also examined its effects on social learning of students. The researcher adopted observational method of descriptive research. The participants of the study consisted of students of Master of Arts in Education (M. A. Education) of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur. The researcher taught a c...

Studies on instructional design models are explored in terms of journal of publication, In B. Wilson (Ed.), Constructivist Learning Environments (pp. Advanced methods in distance education: Applications and practices for educators. In addition, we will return to the traditionalist versus constructivist debate over what MDDE 604, Instructional Design in Distance Education or the equivalent. The ...
