Learning to Understand submission for
In this paper, we propose a unified framework for the syntactico-semantic learning of natural languages. This framework integrates recent results on grammatical inference with positive structural examples and an algebraic characterization of the Principle of Compositionality, introduced by linguists and logicians. The purpose is to give account of how children learn to understand their native l...
متن کاملTo understand deep learning we need to understand kernel learning
Generalization performance of classifiers in deep learning has recently become a subject of intense study. Deep models, which are typically heavily over-parametrized, tend to fit the training data exactly. Despite this overfitting, they perform well on test data, a phenomenon not yet fully understood. The first point of our paper is that strong performance of overfitted classifiers is not a uni...
متن کاملwillingness to communicate in the iranian context: language learning orientation and social support
why some learners are willing to communicate in english, concurrently others are not, has been an intensive investigation in l2 education. willingness to communicate (wtc) proposed as initiating to communicate while given a choice has recently played a crucial role in l2 learning. it was hypothesized that wtc would be associated with language learning orientations (llos) as well as social suppo...
Teaching and Learning Fraction and Rational Numbers: The Origins and Implications of Whole Number Bias
ion. ops and the conceptual restructuring that is required for the transformation to take place from the concept of whole numbers to that of fraction numbers in children. Initially, there was an ill-conceived start. The conventional “double-counts” treatment of fractions in classroom fails to help children differentiate fraction numbers from whole numbers (Davydov & Tsvetkovich, 1991; Kieren, 1...
متن کاملThe Whole Number Bias in Fraction Magnitude Comparisons with Adults
The current study examines the extent to which the whole number bias, especially whole number ordering, can interfere with adult understandings of fractions. Using the framework theory approach to conceptual change as outlined by Vosniadou (2007; Vosniadou, Vamvakoussi & Skopeliti, 2008), this study supports the idea that initial concepts formed in childhood can have lasting effects into adulth...
