Competence Set Expansion Strategy and Application with General Connectivity Parameters

Optimal Competence Set Expansion

A competence set is a collection of skills used to solve a problem. Based on deduction graph concepts, this paper proposes a method of finding an optimal process so as to expand a decision maker’s competence set to enable him to solve his problem confidently. Using the concept of minimum spanning tree, Yu and Zhang addressed the problem of the optimal expansion of competence sets. In contrast, ...

Optimal multiple stage expansion of competence set

In this paper, we consider the expansion processes of competence sets which have asymmetric cost functions, intermediate skills, and compound skills; among the skills, cyclic connections are possible. We introduce the concept of the stage expansion process (SEP) of the competence set, and provide mathematical programming methods to ®nd a minimal cost SEP and the ordering of expansion.

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Testing Small Set Expansion in General Graphs

We consider the problem of testing small set expansion for general graphs. A graph G is a (k, φ)expander if every subset of volume at most k has conductance at least φ. Small set expansion has recently received significant attention due to its close connection to the unique games conjecture, the local graph partitioning algorithms and locally testable codes. We give testers with two-sided error...
