The resurgence of structure in deep neural networks
Machine learning with deep neural networks ("deep learning") allows for learning complex features directly from raw input data, completely eliminating hand-crafted, "hard-coded" feature extraction from the learning pipeline. This has lead to state-of-the-art performance being achieved across …

One such area where this happens is during the egg donation process. Egg donation is a part of …

An applied evaluation of resurgence: functional communication training (FCT) and treatment relapse
… before this type of treatment is implemented. Resurgence, the recurrence of previously reinforced behavior when another behavior is placed on extinction, is a possible undesirable effect of extinction. Resurgence may account for some instances of treatment relapse in situations where problem …
