With the advent of the Semantic Web and Semantic Technologies, ontologies have become one of the most prominent paradigms for knowledge representation and reasoning. The popular ontology language OWL, based on description logics, became a W3C recommendation in 2004 and a standard for modelling ontologies on the Web. In the meantime, many studies and applications using OWL have been reported in ...

Traditional active learning encounters a cold start issue when very few labelled examples are present for learning a decent initial classifier. Its poor quality subsequently affects selection of the next query and stability of the iterative learning process, resulting in more annotation effort from a domain expert. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel class augmentation technique,...

With the advent of the Semantic Web and Semantic Technologies, ontologies have become one of the most prominent paradigms for knowledge representation and reasoning. The currently most popular ontology language OWL, based on description logics, became a W3C recommendation in 2004 and a standard for modelling ontologies on the Web.

according to interactions in multiple grade classes, the present study aims to compare different class compositions in three different groups of fourth-grade multiple grade students in implicit learning and academic achievement. statistical population consists of all fourth grade public elementary school students in piranshahr. 3 groups of students including 8 girls and 8 boys were randomly sel...

This report presents the work completed since the thesis proposal and the revised plan for the future PhD study. Two main issues have been discussed so far: diversity analysis of ensemble models in class imbalance learning, exploration of negative correlation learning on imbalanced data. Experimental design and main conclusions are simply described. More details are included in the two papers i...

background: achieving the characteristics of effective teaching can play an undeniable role in assurance of education. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between some nonverbalbehaviors of university professors during classroom teaching and the level of students’ learning. methods: in this cross sectional study, a list of professors’ nonverbal behaviors and dynamic characteris...

it is argued that language learning is regarded as the cornerstone of human existence. the widespread use of english as an international language makes it highly important in the world. it is no more working as the status of language of the elite class or the educated class of the society such as professors, rather it is working as an instrument to bring success in life. nowadays, teachers need...

We study many-class few-shot (MCFS) problem in both supervised learning and meta-learning settings. Compared to the well-studied many-shot few-class problems, MCFS commonly occurs practical applications but has been rarely studied previous literature. It brings new challenges of distinguishing between many classes given only a few training samples per class. In this paper, we leverage class hie...
