Construction, implementation, and evaluation of Piagetian concrete operational learning strategies to facilitate student attainment of basic concepts in human genetics
… (1) the effectiveness of the strategies on concept acquisition in human genetics, and (2) growth in intellectual development as a result of the students' being instructed by concrete operational learning strategies rather than lecture.Evaluation of the effectiveness of the learning …

Generalizing the Structure of Explanations in Explanation-Based Learning
… learning is a recently developed approach to concept acquisition by computer. In this type of machine learning, a specific problem's solution is generalized into a form that can later be used to solve conceptually similar problems. A number of explanation-based generalization algorithms have …

Using the language of thought
… find the needle that corresponds to any specific concept. The first model takes advantage of the compositionality inherent to LOT representations, framing concept acquisition as program induction in a functional programming language; the Exploration- Compression algorithm this model motivates …

An Inductive Engine for the Acquisition of Temporal Knowledge
… from observations can be viewed as a problem in concept acquisition, where the target event to be predicted can be viewed as a class designator, and the "causes" to be discovered can be viewed as the hypothesized descriptions for that class. Using this approach, the "causes" of the target event …

Symbolic and connectionist machine learning techniques for short-term electric load forecasting
… 2.5%. Connectionist neural network knowledge acquisition algorithms are however, not mature enough, presently, to handle complex real world problems such as knowledge extraction from large databases. Presence of symbolic along with numeric data in input and output poses problems for data …

As I sow, so shall you reap: The different roles of different gestures in knowledge construction
… of gestures during conversation can enhance concept acquisition and language learning in children. An instructor's gestures also benefit students' learning. For example, by providing gestures that contain semantic value, students remember more and attain deeper understanding of a concept. …

Sinbad Automation Of Scientific Process: From Hidden Factor Analysis To Theory Synthesis
Modern science is turning to progressively more complex and data-rich subjects, which challenges the existing methods of data analysis and interpretation. Consequently, there is a pressing need for development of ever more powerful methods of extracting order from complex data and for automation of …
