Designing effective hints systems
… our experimental object. We found that abstract hints are perceived as worse than no hint because they do not provide sufficient help for the player. In contrast, we found that concrete hints are perceived as more helpful, but ultimately that player experience attributes primarily depend on the …

Improving wireless network performance using sensor hints
… and inertial sensors (gyros) that can provide hints about the device's mobility. In this thesis, we posit that these sensors can be profitably used to improve the performance of wireless network protocols running on these mobile devices and introduce an architecture for using external sensor …

Designing Answer-Aware LLM Hints to Scaffold Deeper Learning in K–12 Programming Education
… The system generates short, step-by-step hints when students ask for help, encouraging reasoning rather than direct answer-seeking. Grounded in Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, this approach balances guidance and autonomy through structured prompting that preserves productive …

Effects of Distractor Problems and Hints on Transfer and Classification by Young Children (Learning, Preschool, Interference)
Factors affecting the young preschool child's ability to notice problem similarity and transfer a rule across analogous problems were examined. The problem analogs differed in their surface appearance, but shared common relations for goal and solution. The target problems were drawn from a domain …

Exploring central and enteric nervous system vulnerability in Huntington’s Disease: hints from a knock-in animal model
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by an aberrant expansion of CAG repeats within the HTT gene, for which there is currently no cure. The disease is driven by the mutant huntingtin protein, which predominantly leads to the degeneration of the striatum …

Insights into motivating factors for clinical trial participation across racial and ethnic identities: A hints data study
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2025-05-01

Improving players' control over the NeuroSky brain-computer interface
… first, are there behavioral suggestions ("hints") which increase the output value of Meditation; secondly, are there hints which increase the output value of particular brainwave types (alpha, gamma, theta waves) which are known in the literature to be associated with meditative states, and …

Development of an intuition semantic instrument
… intuition. The Himaya Intuition Semantic Scale (HINTS) was developed by the investigator. Theoretical support was identified using Gestalt Theory, Cognitive Dissonance Theory, and Ornstein's (1977) Modes of Consciousness Theory. Stinchcombe's format was used to structure the merger of the three …

Automated Environment Diagram Assessment for Introductory CS Education
… automatic assessment. Students instantly receive hints to help them correct misunderstandings, allowing even large courses to give individualized feedback. Instructors can easily create questions by providing code that is interpreted into a solution diagram. In a CS1 course, 87% of students felt …

Method and scope in cross-cultural speech act research: A contrastive study of requests in Japanese and English
… the most favored for all languages studied, and hints the least frequent. Japanese interaction is said to be hearer-oriented, thus vague and indirect, so a study of requests in Japanese should reveal a greater preference for hints. However, since questionnaires do not reflect the negotiated …

Physical layer-aware wireless link layer protocols
… completes, and it computes and exports SoftPHY hints with each decoded bit. The SoftPHY hint of a bit indicates the PHY's confidence that the decoded bit is correct. We show that the SoftPHY hints of a received frame can be used to estimate the bit error rate (BER) of the wireless channel faster …

WhatWhen2Ask: Cost-Aware LLM Querying for Autonomous Robots in Uncertain Environments
… is likely to improve performance. Accepted hints are embedded and fused with structured state representations, supported by tailored reward shaping for improved learning in sparse environments. Evaluated in the HomeGrid environment, WhatWhen2Ask improves the success rate from 38% (DQN-only) …

Design operators
… characteristics are identified. The thesis hints for an emerging design mentality delineated by the implementation, documentation and critical evaluation of a series of experimental projects in computational design.

Solving Machine Learning Problems
… a machine learning model to generate problem hints. Thus, our system automatically generates new questions across topics, answers both open-response questions and multiple-choice questions, classifies problems, and generates problem hints, pushing the envelope of AI for STEM education.

Hardware implementation of wireless bit rate adaptation
… protocol, which uses per-bit confidence hints generated by the convolutional decoder to estimate the channel bit-error rate. Implementing SoftRate requires changes to both the physical and media access control layers. which precludes using existing commodity 802.11 hardware. This project …

Effects of presentation modality and practice strategy in animated demonstrations of software on achievement of undergraduate students
… program-controlled help, in which instructional hints were automatically provided, and practice with user-controlled help, in which no instructional hints were provided unless students seek assistance by clicking a help button. The dependent variables consisted of a retention test immediately …

Learning with Incidental Supervision
… On the other hand, data itself often provides hints sufficient to induce high quality supervision and utilizing these hints can be substantially less labor intensive than producing explicit annotation. This thesis introduces a framework we call Learning with Incidental Supervision, which …

The Mystery That Prevails: Drawing Fragmented Worlds
… exhibition is built from organic imagery that hints at diagrammatic filtering of information, but repeats, contorts and layers to become an unsettling conversation between the known and the unknown. In this essay, I discuss my use of repetitive drawing and the rendering of strange, shifting …

Graphical extensions to online problem sets and tutors
… Students working on a problem can be given hints, check their solution, or see the correct solution. The graphical extension also lays the groundwork for more complex graphical problems involving connectivity or other rules between graphical objects.
