The purpose of this study is to investigate the teacher change process and extend our understanding of how variability in the ways that primary school teachers in Bangladesh implement innovative pedagogical practices, such as active learning, reflects variations in their underst…
The author examined whether the case response format using a multiple-choice (MC) versus open-ended (OE) question prompts at the end of the case influenced students' ability to think about the case like an expert and generate a quality response to the case, judged by argument st…
Computational design has become a predominant element of various engineering tasks. However, the ever increasing complexity of numerical models creates the need for efficient methodologies. Specifically, computational design under uncertainties remains sparsely used in engineeri…
Finding safe and effective drugs in the form of compounds is a long and arduous campaign that can stretch to more than a decade. This is mainly exacerbated by the exponential amount of available compounds. The effectiveness of these compounds can only be confirmed via physical t…
Automatically generated metadata from large collections is an essential component of digital libraries, and is beginning to emerge as fundamental to the study of languages. Morpho-syntactic annotation captures the form of individual words andtheir function. Nonetheless automated…
The grand vision of Artificial Intelligence is to build agents that can continuously learn from experience and reason about how to act in the world. Traditional machine learning models generally assume access to huge amount of data. This allows effective learning from huge histo…
With the increasingly widespread adoption of online learning, education is at an important crossroads. Spirituality and character building were once an important part of formal education. In the more secular modern era, many institutions of higher learning have neglected the spi…
In recent years, journalists and scholars alike have grown wary about the state of political discourse in the US. Numerous scholars have indicated that a major reason for the precipitous decline in civil discourse is the proliferation of rights talk, a rhetorical strategy predic…
Active learning techniques attempt to reduce the amount of data required to learn a classifier by leveraging adaptivity. In particular, an algorithm iteratively selects and labels points from an unlabeled pool of data points. Over the history of active learning, many algorithms …
