Detecting Student Dropouts Using Fuzzy Inferencing
<p>Fuzzy logic provides a methodology for reasoning using imprecise rules and assertions. Fuzzy inference is the process of formulating the mapping from a given input to an output using fuzzy logic. The mapping then provides a basis from which decisions can be made, or patterns discerned. This …

Inferencing Techniques for Enhanced Monitoring of Thermal-Fluid Systems
Sensor data augmentation for accurate system monitoring is relevant to many engineering applications, as there is often a gap between available instrumentation and measurement needs. Installing sensors can be limited due to factors such as harsh environmental conditions, the need to avoid …

P2P Based Personalized Federated Learning for Collaborative Model Sharing and Inferencing
Existing Federated Learning (FL) relies primarily on client-server architecture to train a single global model utilizing various local datasets. There are ongoing initiatives to improve the present state of federated learning. This method may not be suitable for clients with diverse requirements. …

Correlated Sources In Distributed Networks - Data Transmission, Common Information Characterization and Inferencing
<p>Correlation is often present among observations in a distributed system. This thesis deals with various design issues when correlated data are observed at distributed terminals, including: communicating correlated sources over interference channels, characterizing the common information among …

Communicative Inferencing Between Classroom Teachers and Limited English Proficient International Children (Sociolinguistics, Discourse)
This study examined communicative inferencing between experienced and preservice teachers and non-English speaking international pupils in three mainstream classrooms: a kindergarten, first grade and third grade. The locus of observation was a dyadic instructional encounter, in which one of the …

FACTORS INFLUENCING JAPANESE UNIVERSITY LEARNERS’ INFERENCES OF UNFAMILIAR IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS IN LISTENING
Lexical inferencing is considered a listening strategy that is commonly employed by advanced EFL (English as a Foreign Language) listeners and a factor that contributes to successful listening comprehension. However, investigations of the factors that influence inferencing success in listening as …

The Effect of the Movie Time Social Learning Method on the Emotional Inferencing Skills in an Adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… to make inferences, or read between the lines. Inferencing is a challenge for individuals with ASD because it requires complex information processing. More specifically, it involves the integration of cognitive and linguistic information. There is a lack of research using complex stimuli to …

The Effects of Cultural Orientation and Bilingualism on Inferential Comprehension
… inferences and (2) to compare and contrast inferencing ability of Iranian students with American students with similar academic background. A secondary purpose of the study was to examine if reading in a second language impedes the process of inferencing. To achieve these objectives, three …

A temporal analysis of natural language narrative text
… eliminated the need for expensive semantic inferencing within our model, we have certainly devised guidelines to eliminate the expense in certain cases where explicit temporal indicators are missing. We have also characterized some cases through our test data where semantic inferencing …

The Strawberry Grows Under the Nettle: How an Integrated Performance-Based Approach to the Teaching of Shakespeare at the Secondary Level Affects Critical Thinking Skills as Measured by the California Critical Thinking Skills Test
… on the specific critical thinking ability of Inferencing between a performance-based versus seat-bound approaches, and the role gender plays in determining the growth of critical thinking skills between both groups. Control group students were taught Shakespeare in the traditional manner; …

Reading comprehension and listening comprehension in children: An individual differences investigation
… appeared to make extra demands on children’s inferencing ability. In a further study it was ascertained that this was not simply due to the shared memory demands of the inferencing and listening comprehension tasks. The hypothesis that listening comprehension ability depends on the ability to …

Type-2 Fuzzy Logic: Circumventing the Defuzzification Bottleneck
Type-2 fuzzy inferencing for generalised, discretised type-2 fuzzy sets has been impeded by the computational complexity of the defuzzification stage of the fuzzy inferencing system. Indeed this stage is so complex computationally that it has come to be known as the defuzzification bottleneck. The …

Theory of Mind Reasoning and its Relationship to Executive and Social Functioning in 10-Year-Olds
… childhood. Recent studies have distinguished inferencing about beliefs (cognitive ToM) and emotions (affective ToM). ToM has also been associated with executive and social functioning. The current study examined advanced cognitive and affective ToM in 10-year-olds (N = 56) using false-belief …
