Discovering Group Differences from Qualitative and Quantitative Attributes Using Contrast Set Mining with Discretization and Measures of Interestingness
… step, we investigate the problem of ranking the interestingness of the contrast sets discovered using fourteen interestingness measures. Twelve measures have been previously utilized in various areas in the data mining community, such as association rule mining, emerging patterns, and subgroup …

The Effects of Context-Dependency of Seductive Details on Recall and Transfer in a Multimedia Learning Environment
… participated in Experiment 1 and assigned interestingness scores to the 28 content irrelevant sentences. Participants were assigned to two different groups, context-dependent seductive details group (CDSD) and context-independent seductive details group (CISD). Participants in the CDSD …

The influence of situational interest on the appropriate use of cognitive learning strategies
… the role of two facets of situational interest, interestingness and personal significance, as predictors of the adequate use of three types of cognitive learning strategies (rehearsal strategies, organizational strategies, and elaboration strategies). In order to attain this goal, it introduces a …

Qualitative and Quantitative Causes of the Experience of Affect
… cognitive activity (i.e., interestingness), perceived resolvedness of text-understanding problems (e.g., not resolved/resolved), and perceived peripheral arousal (i.e., tenseness/excitement) were used to examine the effects of the three independent factors on the quality and …

Web Service Mining
… up composition of composable services, and interestingness and usefulness evaluation of composed services. We first propose a Web service ontology to describe and organize the constructs of a Web service. We introduce the concept of Web service operation interface for the description of …

A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new high-pT physics at Tevatron Run II
… and rigorous a posteriori measure of the "interestingness" of any observed signal. This algorithm will also be used with small modifications at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In addition, a new detector simulation, TurboSim, was tested for physics analysis use for the first time.

Analytic and constructive processes in the comprehension of text
… affected by factors such as text structure and ‘interestingness’. The experiments provided the opportunity for examining the potential of alternative methodologies (such as the content analysis of open-ended questions). It is felt that it is necessary to examine comprehension using methods which …

Utility-based data mining: An anthropometric case study
… of the mining process. We also apply objective interestingness measures in our analysis of demographic data, to improve the quality of the results and reduce the time and search space of the mining process. The analysis of demographic data allows us to better understand the demographic nature of …

A Methodology for Finding Uniform Regions in Spatial Data and its Application to Analyzing the Composition of Cities
… which has to be captured in a plug-in interestingness function. The analysis methodology uses polygons as models for spatial clusters and histogram-type distribution signatures to describe their characteristics. Finally, popular signatures are introduced that describe distribution …

Writing and Designing Science Trade Books for Young Adolescents: Model Development and Application
… in the topic and overall gave high ratings for interestingness of and helpfulness of illustrations. Average and high ability readers gave more useful protocols than low ability readers. The author/investigator collected an author protocol on videotape while using the text design model to write …

Improving Reader Motivation with Machine Learning
… of concepts from NLP such as textual coherence, interestingness, and summarization. We additionally use techniques from ML including supervised and self-supervised learning, deep neural networks, and sentence embeddings. This thesis, presented in an integrated-article format, contains three core …

Text mining with exploitation of user's background knowledge : discovering novel association rules from text
… been proposed in the literature to evaluate the interestingness of discovered patterns. However, objective measures alone are insufficient because such measures do not consider knowledge and interests of the users. Subjective measures require explicit input of user expectations which is difficult …

Emotional Response to Auditory and Visual Stimuli
… stimulus for arousal, valence, dominance, and interestingness by using a nine point scale anchored at one end by calm, unpleasant, not in control, and boring and at the other by excited, pleasant, in full control, and riveting, respectively. The present study also looked at differences in …

Promoting Students’ Interest in Learning English as a Foreign Language: A Case Study of Vietnamese University Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices
… are interest boosters. Additionally, the interestingness of a lesson is found to be proportional to the number of interest-enhancing strategies used. Another finding is that the absence of one determinant (i.e., novelty/ comprehensibility/ meaningfulness of learning objects/ students’ …

The design and study of pedagogical paper recommendation
… each paper is not solely dependent on the interestingness of the paper, but also other factors, such as the degree to which the paper can help to meet their ‘cognitive’ goals.It is also observed that most of the recommendation methods are scalable. Although the degree of this scalability is …

Extraction and Exploitation of User Goals and Intentions for Querying and Recommendation
… that really meet their standards in terms of interestingness and usefulness, a challenging task. We are dealing with the problem of providing items of interest to the users as response to explicit user requests or in the form of recommendations by exploiting a factor that has been poorly …

An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Concatenative Sound Synthesis
… perceived sound similarity and perceived sound interestingness. A new framework that integrates all these solutions, the query-based CSS framework, was then proposed. The proof-of-concept of this study, ConQuer, was developed based on this framework. This study has critically analysed the …

SAERMA: Stacked Autoencoders Rule Mining Algorithm for the Interpretation of Epistatic Interactions in GWAS of Extreme Obesity
… and the interactions that exist between them. Interestingness measures, support, confidence, lift and chi-square test ( ²) are utilised to rank and determine correlated rules, under a support-dependence framework. The SNPs from the top rules (top 300, 200, 100 and 50 rules) are used with a SAE …

Exploring the role of late-occurring nonspecific retroactive interference and interest on recall
Any form of post-encoding distraction, known as Nonspecific Retroactive Interference (NRI), may cause forgetting (Keppel, 1968; Wixted, 2004). However, recent experiments have not always found evidence for NRI and its effect may be very mild. NRI was tested across five experiments which aimed to …
