Objective. To determine if a flipped classroom improved student examination performance in a pharmacotherapy oncology module. Design. Third-year pharmacy students in 2012 experienced the oncology module as interactive lectures with optional case studies as supplemental homework. In 2013, students experienced the same content in a primarily flipped classroom. Students were instructed to watch vo...

Answering questions that ask about temporal information involves several forms of inference. In order to develop question answering capabilities that benefit from temporal inference, we believe that a large corpus of questions and answers that are discovered based on temporal information should be available. This paper describes our methodology for creating AnswerTime-Bank, a large corpus of qu...

In this paper we argue that access to rich semantic structures derived from questions and answers will enable both the retrieval of more accurate answers to simple questions and enable inference processes that explain the validity and contextual coverage of answers to complex questions. Processing complex questions involves the identifications of several forms of complex semantic structures. An...

cultural requirements. It is set out in the unusual form of questions and answers, between an engaged couple and a doctor; all of which, we are told, are based on factual conversations; though it would be unusual to find such a series of logically consecutive questions (or perhaps answers) as are provided in these chapters! It is easy to refer to, and though technical, anatomical and physiologi...

The increasing volume of questions posted on social question and answering sites has triggered the development of question routing services. Most of these routing algorithms are able to recognize effectively individuals with the required knowledge to answer a specific question. However, just because people have the capability to answer a question, does not mean that they have the desire to help...

We propose a new task of automatically detecting reputation defence strategies in the field of computational argumentation. We cast the problem as relation classification, where given a pair of reputation threat and reputation defence, we determine the reputation defence strategy. We annotate a dataset of parliamentary questions and answers with reputation defence strategies. We then propose a ...

Research has consistently demonstrated that taking a test prior to receiving misleading information increases eyewitness suggestibility (Chan, Thomas, & Bulevich, 2009). Retrieval Enhanced Suggestibility (RES) is characterized by two typical findings: (1) reduced access to the originally witnessed event, which has been contextualized within a reconsolidation framework (e.g., Chan & LaPaglia, 20...
